As difficult as it sounds to replace a 1,400-yard rusher in Hill, the tallest order comes in replacing the dynamic duo of Landry and Beckham who became the first LSU pair of receivers to record 1,000-yard seasons in the same season and only the third set of SEC receivers to do so.

LSU does not have a Fournette-type player ready to step into their prodigious shoes, at least not yet anyway. A commitment from No. 2 wide receiver recruit Malachi Dupre will go a long way in alleviating some concerns at the position and give them a potential star in the years to come. I have predicted him to come to LSU, so for this exercise let’s pencil him into the lineup.
