After going 15-0 last season, the Tigers begin their title defense with a vastly different-looking team.
The world is a vastly different place to what it was in January and the same can be said for LSU. Eight months ago, the Tigers defeated Clemson in the College Football Playoff national championship game to record their 15th win of an extraordinary season during which they torched defenses across the nation and didn't lose a single game. Fast forward to the end of September, however, and a lot has changed in Baton Rouge.
The omens aren't particularly good for LSU either, which went 8-5 the season after winning the national title in 2005 and ended the season outside the Top 25. At the same time, however, it is not all doom and gloom in the Bayou. In Derek Stingley the Tigers have arguably the best cornerback in college football, while safety JaCoby Stevens and North Dakota transfer linebacker Jabril Cox guarantee plenty of talent on the defensive side of the ball.
