Here's a wrap on today's chat, which featured some very good questions.

The LSU fans are naturally curious about how it's going to shake out at quarterback this season.
Daniel L (Dallas, Texas): Do you think Jordan Jefferson and Kragthorpe can put it together and let this year's LSU team live up to its potential and get past unscathed with their grueling schedule or is that asking for a miracle?

Chris Low: The good thing with Jefferson is that he's got enough talent around him that he doesn't have to go out and have a great senior season for the Tigers to contend for a title. He just needs to be consistent, make the plays that are there and keep defenses honest by making more plays down the field. I still think Zach Mettenberger is going to play some this season. How much? We'll see. You're right about the schedule. It's a beast. But I think a 12-1 LSU team that wins the SEC championship would have a great shot to finish among the top two teams in the final BCS standings, especially with that schedule.

Another hot topic was Alabama's Robert Lester being left off our SEC all-star teams.
Zack (Ashville, Ala.): How could both you and Edward leave Robert Lester off your all star list? He lead the sec in interceptions and was second in the nation. Is Lester just not that much of a vocal leader or what?

Chris Low: He was one I thought about when picking my defensive backs for the West along with Arkansas' Tramain Thomas. Both are coming off very good seasons. I went with more of a nickel back with that fourth defensive back -- LSU's Tyrann Mathieu, who was equally adept at forcing turnovers last season. I did go with Menzie as one of my corners. Coach Saban told me he was as good as anybody they had in the secondary this spring. Both Alabama and LSU are loaded in the secondary.
