Anything less will be a major disappointment for all of us, regardless of how many new faces will have to settle in the program.

Actually, we play S. Alabama before Tulane so make that 3-1. After Tulane, we play NMSU, so we should be minimally 4-1 at that point hosting App State and possibly even 5-0.

Man Taboris Lee is looking freaking good

I know it sounds outlandish, but the pieces are in place. With an o-line holding it's blocks and AJ can get to the corner when no one's open, this makes the field seem that much bigger to the opposing defenses.

I hope we come back to this post at the end of the year......

I really think we are looking at a 9 win year.

I haven't watched AJ enough to judge my lsuambr friends say he can't hit the side of a barn. Very inaurate.

Hard to hit the side of a barn when you stick an "athlete" in a pro-style offense and make him stay in the pocket while SEC defenses are swarming around him. You get him in space (roll-outs, playactions, etc.) where he can make plays with his legs.

Crystal Ball Projections (If full season is played) - Our QB's tend to miss time every year.

Passing: 2800 yrds / 18 TD's
Rushing: 900 yrds / 10 TD's

Totals: 3700 yrds / 18 TD's


AJ is Gautier and Broadway morphed into one person. The difference is better mechanics, faster, bigger, & smarter.

I see now, I inverted those two games. Yes, I agree with that assessment as well. I will take 3-1 after the first four games, but lets see what we have and I will feel better about those records.

LSU fans are not known for their level headed analysis

If AJ has this type of season, the Cajuns will win +9 games.

I have discussed AJ with a couple of lsu fans, at length. They warned that AJ was an all star at practice and got reps with the 1's, etc. But when the lights came on he wasn't the same guy. Idk if he was never comfortable, felt all the pressure was on or if miles never let the reins go long enough to see him succeed.

I don't think he was ever the type of "pro style" QB that miles' creams over. He is more the type of player Hud looks for in the shotgun and I think we have a chance to see him do some Broadway type things before Broadway was hurt.

Miles is an imbecile who can't locate his own orifices without a competent assistant. Most LSU fans know this and accept it.

Plus his offenses have always been built around the running game....ground and pound -
"3 yards and a cloud of dust" type mentality. He has yet to recruit a QB and have him flourish. He recruits stud athletes or dual-type guys, then slams them into a handcuffed role.
