They said a stat during the game, but I can't remember so I'm sure y'all can chime in.

LSU is playing like 15 Freshmen, which is tied for second. Texas and TCU both starting 16 and we're starting 15 or something like that.

The point is that it's just amazing what we can accomplish with such a young team. The sky is the limit for this group.

Les plays freshman just enough so they can burn their red shirt but rarely enough for them to have a major contribution to the team.

TCU and LSU will be very familiar with one another in 2014

Between all the injuries and the players leaving for the pros early I can see why.

I think the Miles started this in 2009 about the time the Chief joined the staff and played a number of freshman in 2010. I do think Miles had a case of seniorits early on. the man has evolved in his job.

One of the most ignorant statements I have ever seen.

Jeremy Hill, Vadal Alexander, Jalen Mills, and a shite load of LBs have all made significant contributions this year as true freshmen.

Ohio State is undefeated (yes I know its the little 10) playing 15 freshmen.
They will kill in a few years.

The same Urban Meyer who developed severe anxiety and a few nervous ticks because of the pressure he couldn't handle in the SEC?

your point is? the Little 10 is = to SEC? or winning the Little 10 will be easier once he gets his recruits? OR he is not a good coach with 2 MNCs?

The last time he will ever touch a crystal trophy was the day he left UF. At least he has the satisfaction of knowing his nuts will never be cold.

I think that's true freshmen. I heard a stat earlier in the year that LSU has played 28 freshmen this year (true and redshirt) whic was the most in CFB, TCU was second at 27 I think.
