I agree with you and msully to some degree. He said 10-2. You seem to think 11-1. I think one of those two predictions is correct. I don't see 12-0 and I hopefully don't see 9-3.

I agree with your offense being better than expected. Daniels won some games that LSU would have lost with Nussmeier at QB. Having said that, the RB rushing game will be better, and Nussmeier has already sbown improvement in the bowl game. And I gotta believe the defense will be better too. Unlike some here, I think the secondary will be pretty good. I'm most concerned about improving the pass rush which was horrible last season. LSU stopped the run for the most part but if LSU doesn't improve on 3rd and long stops, it is going to be as bad as last year. LSU played pretty good defense on 1st and 2nd downs...run or pass...but getting off the field on 3rd and long was ridiculous.

We are lacking at DL and CB. The defense HAS to be better than last year, but we have a 5 loss defense and a 1-2 loss offense.


People are being ridiculous. We are not lacking at CB. We now have talent, experience, and depth. Now with Raymond, we have a developer too. The corners will moat definitely be improved. LSU's real problem is that they don't have a definite starting interior DL, however I have faith in Bo Davis to get something together by the time fall practice rolls around.

The CBs aren't going to be green next year...Toriano has played a lot...Stamps has played a lot and hopefully will be healthy...Alexander was playing pretty darn good before got injured...Gilbert is a proven commodity...maybe an OSU CB can actually stay healthy...Yaites has good potential...don't know much about Hughes. I don't have much hope for Burns and Sage.
The first MF'ing thing OOU Raymond needs to coach up is HOW TO TURN YOUR HEAD AROUND AND LOOK FOR THE FRICKING FOOTBALL!

Paris Shand played out of his shoes sometimes. Not gonna lie he was one of the bright spots on the Dline. I can’t remember which game it was but he was in the backfield constantly

So they think A&M will go 6-6 but beat Texas, which will be Texas’s only loss? Okay…

A useless rag if they say we lose 4.
Experts when they say we go undefeated.

3 Other SEC teams going 11-1 to go along with one team going 12-0 would be insane.

I dreamt last night that the defense gave up a long TD run to Bama to lose the game in 2024.

They are saying Texas loses to Aggie. Not sure that happens so article suspect.

Texas is going to be fine in the SEC but OU I have real doubts about.
Just this century, OU has won eleven Big 12 Championships (UT 3 times), one national championship, in the title game twice (UT 1/1), and has had four Heisman Trophy winners (UT none) and also been in the college football playoffs four times (UT once).

You're a dunce if you think OU is not going to fare as well, if not substantially BETTER than UT in the SEC.

Well, aTm was 7-1 at home with only loss being to the Gumps and they were 0-4 on the road.

Game against LOLhorns will be at home.

Not as crazy as it sounds.
