Guilbeau: 5 things to know about LSU - Shreveport Times
BATON ROUGE – LSU has been picked third in the Southeastern Conference West behind Auburn and Alabama by SEC reporters. Interestingly, Auburn was voted to win the SEC title while Alabama was the pick to win the West, which is impossible. More voters who did not vote Alabama to win the West voted them to finish higher in the division than those who did not vote Auburn to win the West. Here are five factors that could weigh heavily if LSU is to return to the upper echelon of the SEC after an 8-5 season in 2014 and a fifth place finish in the league at 4-4 – the Tigers’ worst season since 2008. 1. QUARTERBACK – Simple math says... Offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Cam Cameron surely cannot be as bad a coach as he showed last season. Harris has not and should have gotten more of one last season as Jennings continued to regress. LSU head coach Les Miles and Cameron want Harris to win the job because he has the potential to do more than Jennings because of his arm strength and overall talent. And if Harris does win the job for the opener against McNeese State on Sept. 5, he must play well enough to keep it. And Cameron needs to continue to prepare him well enough so he at least looks like he has been coached and prepared, which was not the case in Harris’ only start last season at Auburn.
