re: Does LSU play more Freshmen then any other veteran SEC Team?

Definitely noticed that this year. It was visibly obvious at Saturday's game, as the Bama defense seemed to struggle adjusting to the various speeds/quickness of the myriad of different backs and receivers we used. At least offensively, some of this change might be attributable to Gonzo, as we saw this very same approach from Florida ball clubs in recent years. I don't see a down side to it; 1)it creates depth. 2) it allows more players to stay active and involved in preparation. 3)it dispels any ability for other teams to negatively recruit against Miles' past bouts with senioritis.
