Based on what I've seen and heard, I think this may be a very surprising team. It's only one week in, but Frazier seems to be catching on just fine, and throwing well. That's a huge part of the puzzle. I really don't think they're going to ask Frazier to win game, just not lose them.
The OL may not be dominant, but they'll be much better than last year, and the run game will be aided by the addition of real blocking TEs.
If the defense improves to just middle of the pack, we win 9 or 10.
I'm going to offer this too. And it's just a surmise on my part. I think Les, and the LSU program will still be in a tail spin after that BCSCG disaster, and I think many LSU folks will be on his ass hard if they stumble somewhere, because they will come out as the #1 in most polls. They're going to be breaking in a new QB in a haphazard, grab bag offense. I can see the real possibility of a major implosion. If they don't, it will be a masterful coaching job by Miles IMHO.
