For Ed Orgeron, the time has come for the Louisiana native to be able to coach in his home state and make the Tigers a team that can compete with Alabama for the SEC West title. The biggest point of contention for LSU will again be on offense, which has seemed to be the Achilles’ heel starting with the quarterback position.

All that won’t matter too much if running back Derrius Guice can come in and fill the shoes of Leonard Fournette. Guice has the chance to be the top back in the country, which will take pressure off of whoever is under center and the defense – which lost its usually amount of talent but shouldn’t fall off too much with what is coming back.

Most Important Game – November 4th at Alabama: It’s not a cop out to pick the game with the Crimson Tide because if LSU can get past Florida and Auburn several weeks before, there is a chance both teams could be unbeaten. Anything is possible and the Tigers could put themselves in a position to again be the big dogs in the division – IF they can avoid the traditional let down game of late.
