I haven’t had much nice to write about the Tigers lately and at the same time, I see what else has taken place in the West this off-season, look at the schedule, and find myself feeling oddly optimistic.
Alabama will again have an excellent team. LSU will be double-tough with Leonard Fournette and an overwhelming majority of starters returning.
After that?
Mississippi State surprisingly lost two key underclassmen to the NFL and will play without the best quarterback in program history, Dak Prescott, for the first time in four years.
