But unlike the defense, the offense has more play-makers returning than leaving Death Valley.  Ryan Perrilloux goes into the off-season the favorite to lead the Tigers in 2008.  Surrounded by pure speed in the backfield and wide-out spots, Tiger fans should be salivating at the chance to watch this offense next year. 

 

The highlight crew of Keiland Williams, Demetrius Byrd, Tridan Holliday and Charles Scott all return to amass major yardage behind the likes of Herman Johnson, Ciron Black and Lyle Hitt.  New comers Chris Tolliver and Matt Branch will give Perrilloux two more great options to throw too when he is not picking up yardage with his legs.

 

Looking ahead provides potential promises for the Tigers and their followers.  So what if the targets are on their backs?  LSU has new senior leaders following a mold.  A top-ten recruiting class.  A devoted coach. 

 

Will the Tigers from 2007 be heroes or legends?  That's a question for history More importantly, will the squad in 2008 live up to their predecessors' lofty statures?
