Now that our run of spring practice Q&As has finished up, it seems like a good time to take some stock of the SEC, particularly the West, and how things stock up for LSU and their 2018 opponents.
LSU’s pickup of Joe Burrow raises the floor for this team, given the present state of the division and the Tigers’ schedule. I don’t think he puts them in a title conversation yet — the rest of this offense is still a bit green. The receiving corps is likely going to feature Terrace Marshall and Ja’Marr Chase heavily, and I don’t see the running game being quite good enough to supplement the mistakes that will come with that much youth.
