#DearAndy has moved to Facebook. SI's Andy Staples will now take your questions live every week in a Facebook Live video chat on Wednesdays fromCampus Rush's Facebook page.

In this week's #DearAndy, Andy Staples answers your questions on…

Is LSU's resurgence due to Les Miles's firing or the schedule getting easier? The Tigers axed Miles after losses to Wisconsin and Auburn, two teams that have revealed themselves to be quality opponents. LSU has since beaten Missouri, Southern Miss and Ole Miss under interim coach Ed Orgeron. Have the Tigers really improved under Orgeron? Or are they the same team just playing weaker foes? The LSU team that began the season looked like it would get crushed by Alabama. Will this new-look team fare any better?
