The LSU Tigers defense has fans in the bayou thinking national championship. The 2007 Louisiana State team boasts some of the finest athletes in the nation on both sides of the ball. With Les Miles hiring a new offensive coordinator in Gary Crowton to spring some new plays into the bland LSU offense this team could be even better than last years 11-2 team. SportsBetting.com has the LSU Tigers at 6 to 1 betting odds to win the 2008 BCS.

Les Miles like to play run first offense but the tigers have been too predictable with their play-calling. Look for new coordinator Crowton to open up the playbook a little with some more passes for quarterback Matt Flynn. Athletic senior QB Matt Flynn, 6-3 228 is a smart and fiery leader that players rally behind. The Louisiana have a stable of thoroughbreds at running back. Keiland Williams, 5-11 223, is a future NFL prospect that runs over people. Backup Richard Murphy is the newcomer that can shake and bake. And finally Alley Broussard can be the speed guy if he can regain some of his pre ACL injury speed.
