Its used every damn year

Yes we have youth but it needs to stop bein always used as an excuse

Other teams have new players and end up fine. We aren't the only team with youth

Its a bullshite cop out

And a 5th year senior at QB...

It's BS. We have youth at some spots. We here the "LSU is playing 15 or 20 freshmen" OK, not at one time. This accounts for players rotating in, players on special teams, players who come in for 1 or 2 plays. They make it sound like we are starting 20 freshmen.

It's just the latest long running excuse.

People keep screaming 20 freshman but they aren't playing all at once

amazing LSU is always young. every. single. year.

20 freshman

doesn't LSU have at least 20 freshman that play every year?

The funny thing is.. we returned the most starters in the SEC last year. And they lost 4.. Although all of them combined for less points than the 30 MSU thumped us for.

and that's why Les was fired. And if people think we're young this year, wait until next year when we lose our 5th year QB, Guice, Williams, Lacouture, Key, Chark, Gage, Malone, Moore, Gilmore, Thompson, Alexander, Battle, Herron, Paris, and possibly even Toliver.

how are we considered a young team?

---

We've played nearly every true freshman, starting a large number of them.

That's the definition of young. It's not who is on the team - it's who is playing.

We're starting very young players at positions like offensive guard, cornerback, etc.

That's young.

I count 29 Scholarship Seniors and Juniors. That includes Fehoko. The transfer.

That's 34% of our 85.

So 66% of our roster are Sophomores, and Freshman.
