Don't look now but Les Miles has another contender. Some may have been thinking at certain points this past year that LSU was sinking in the fast growing waters of the SEC West. Maybe to some degree in 2014, but much of that has to be attributed to youth. LSU has been completely drained by players leaving early for the NFL the past few years. That is not going to be the case this time around, ergo these Tigers are primed to get back into the usual SEC Championship discussion. The obvious thorn still lies in the passing game. LSU finished as the nation's 114th ranked passing offense (worst in the SEC) in 2014. There were times when all LSU could do was hand the ball of seemingly an entire football game regardless of the score. That formula has to change. Then again, folks have been saying this for nearly a decade. But make no mistake, LSU will be right back in the thick of the SEC West race next season with all this NFL talent/experience back in the mix.
