Which Les Miles LSU team is better: 2011 or 2016?

2011: Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Alfred Blue, Kenny Hilliard
2016: Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice, Darrell Williams, Nick Brosette
Edge: 2016
The skinny: The 2011 group was relentless because LSU could pound opponents with talented, fresh legs. Still, any group with Fournette has to get the edge. He’s a game-breaker that the 2011 group didn’t have.

Wide receiver

2011: Rueben Randle, Odell Beckham Jr., Russell Shepard, Kadron Boone, James Wright
2016: Malachi Dupre, Travin Dural, Tyron Johnson, D.J. Chark
Edge: 2016
The skinny: If the 2016 version of “OBJ” were playing, that would change things, but he was a freshman in 2011.
