its called he was over looked arse it happens alot...(ex. Matt Forte) im a huge LSU fan but some people need to get there head out of lsu's arse and admit when someone is good that lsu over looked. No ones saying lsu screwed up b/c we got our fair share of RB and and 2 NC so i dont think lsu is worried about 1 guy they missed.

Nice facts. When Cecil transfered to McNeese, he couldn't start over the rb that was already there. So should I say that mcneese rb could have started at LSU.

That is point I am trying to make. You are saying how awesome he was and how he outperformed Scott but if he was so great in high school then he would have gotten more offers. He was someone that exceeded expectations.

Jessie Burton was amazing and could have started at LSU, no question. If he hadn't gotten hurt prematurely ending his college career he would have played in the NFL no doubt about it. Had Collins talent but none of the baggage.

It's simple. Besides the fact Tyrell was very strong, extremely fast and was built like a Greek god, he was only about 5'8" tall.
