O-Line:
1) Is Clapp going to play Center or Guard?
2) Is Teuhema going to break out into a star?
3) Will O-Tackle play improve with two returning starters?
Mostly: What effect will Canada's unorthodox offense have on the effectiveness of the O-Line?
Receivers:
1) Canada loves to get the TE involved - Is Moreau ready to become a central cog of our offense?
2) Which WRs step up to become contributors alongside Chark? Plenty of options, but a couple of them actually need to perform
Mostly: What impact will the new coach have on this unit?
Backfield:
1) Does Etling hold onto the job? Will QB play be improved?
2) If the FB position becomes more ingrained in the offense, would that benefit a different style player than Moore or Mouton? Would Ducre blossom into the fulltime FB under Canada?? Even Williams perhaps??
3) What will the pecking order be behind Guice?
Mostly: Under Canada's teaching and scheme, will the LSU QB position be more effective against top defenses?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
D-Line:
1) Can Lacouture regain his form from 2014/2015, where he was a 2-year starter?
2) Is Herron capable (and willing) to become a star???
3) Does Logan or Clark make a push for playing time?
Mostly: Lawrence and Alexander looked pretty good as true freshmen. Will they make a leap forward as sophs like Dorsey? Or just tread water like Anthony Johnson did?
Linebackers:
1) Who plays ILB next to White?
2) Who plays OLB opposite Key
3) Will any of the unproven returnees explode onto the scene? Thornton? Sci Martin? Anthony?
Mostly: Is Devin White emotionally ready to take on the mantle of being "the Man"???
Secondary:
1) Where does Saivion Smith play?
2) What progress can we expect from Donte Jackson?
3) Who plays opposite of John Battle
4) All this young talent - who rises to the top?
Mostly: Can Kevin Tolliver possibly live up to the hype he had generated by midway of his freshman season? (actually, I consider this the #1 question for the entire team).
