Geez I didnt realize how bad he really was.... Not one game over 300 yards and not one game with more than 2 TD's. Manziel had 213 more combined yards and 179 more passing yards against LSU in his worst game than Mett had against our defense.

It honestly doesnt matter how many returning starters we have on Defense... we have an equally talented (or in some cases, an even more talented) backup waiting in the wings ready to play. For 10 years now, every time we've lost a player like Patrick Peterson, there's been a Morris Claiborne ready to step up. Every time we lost a Michael Brockers, there was a Benny Logan ready to step up... you get my drift?
A&M is definitely on the rise, and will be at LSU & Bama's level very soon if they continue their current route, but I'm not sure you understand that when you are an elite program, you simply replace studs with even more studs. I mean look at Bama, they had like 4 defenders taken in the first 2 rounds before last year, but still won the title this year.
Like I said, A&M is getting there; but not quite there yet. Both LSU and Bama are loaded 3-4 deep at almost every position with potential future stars. A&M will be in that same position very soon. Yes, our defense will surely regress some from the typical top 10 unit that we are used to putting out, but it will still be a very potent defense that can hang with any offense in the country (See vs Oregon in 2011, or vs A&M in 2012)... it's our offense that is, and always has been, or biggest concern. We dont need to have an offense like Oregon or A&M to win games, we simply need a slightly above average offense to compete. And we are hoping Cam Cameron can take us to that above average level, because we will need the offense to perfrom better if we expect to beat A&M, Bama, Florida etc.

I was just curious how many you had.
We were a field goal kicker away from erasing much of all that elite talk stuff. Ole miss and A&M are creeping up on Les. His offense and QB are bad. He got bailed out by bad PI calls and some circus catches against A&M last year.

But those stats do not matter... all that matters are the Wins and Losses; and simply put, we do not need a 300 ypg passer to win games. LSU's team is built around a defense, special teams, and our running game... It's hard for a QB throw for 300 yards when you run the ball 50+ times a game. On the other hand, A&M is able to throw for 400+ yards vs LATECH because they needed to in order to win the game! When your defense gives up 40+ pts to LATECH, then you need a QB to throw for 500 yards and 4 TD's just to win... LSU can throw for under 100 yards, rush for over 250 yards, and still win the game by 14+ points (check our 2011 schedule). That's what happends when you have elite defense & special teams... you dont have to rely on the offense to carry the team, unlike A&M. This is not the Big12, you do not win by having high flying offenses... you win or lose a game at the line of scrimmage, and with a suffocating defense, and a near flawless special teams. It's a different type of football altogether.
No offense, but stats are meaningless in football as long as you win the game. And not many programs around the nation can say they have the same or higher winning % as LSU since Les MIles has gotten here.
ETA: If you want to see an example of stats being meaningless, then take a look at our game this past year... Manziel had 275+ yards passing and Mett had under 100, yet LSU led 24-12 with 2 minutues left to play before we gave up a meaningless TD. Proof right there that STATS DO NOT MATTER IN THE SEC

LSU is scared! They know better and that's why they have been attacking us recently! They already knew they couldn't beat Saban but now that we have done so well in our inaugural year in the SEC and have a tidal wave of momentum behind us plus a Heisman trophy winner leading the charge they have fear in their feline hearts that we will replace them as Bama's perennial competition! Well y'all should be scared because I know we will win in Death Valley this year and so do y'all swamp rats!
