Leonard Fournette’s glorious torrent of 200+ yard performances. Trent Domingue’s unexpected fake FG scamper to chomp out the Florida Gators. An Alabama matchup in which LSU’s Heisman candidate was pummeled in the backfield and its run defense methodically embarrassed.

Last season—as do most—came with both highs and lows for the LSU football program. Luckily, this upcoming season brings with it more continuity than has been seen in past years. This is true especially on offense, where 100 percent of the rushing corps, 100 percent of the passing corps, and 93.5 percent of the receiving corps are all returning.

Fournette? Back. Les Miles? Returning. Dupre? Looking to have a breakout season.
