this is the excuse every year these days

2012 (remember all the "i feel bad for eric reid b/c he has to QB this secondary" threads?) /2013 (mainly LBs, DEs, and secondary) it was the D

now it's QB and DT (we're only young elsewhere at WRs and they've been fine)

the better question

What can Miles do to recruit from within and stop all the early departures. Other coaches are doing it.

Almost the entire OL is going out after this season along with most of the DL.
WHo is going to step up to even play in the trenches next season? Some true freshman from an above average recruiting class??

Never. As long as there are any freshman or sophomores playing, some in this fan base will use that as an excuse every time we lose.

I mean they have had half a season now.

Both Qbs have started an SEC game.

The young WRs are playing well above preseason expectations. They were the most inexperienced group coming in trying to replace 2 absolute studs.

This all goes to scheme. If Miles is this hell bent on running the ball why not just go all out with a Georgia Tech dive option" offense?

Two corners are sophomores

Adams is a freshman

Freshmen and sophomores are rotating at DE

Two leading rushers are freshmen

Beckwith is a sophomore

not starting and if he does, will be over an upperclassman

The answer to this is really a simple math problem.

Ny=not young
Cy=current year

Ny = cy + 1

Sure they are, if it helps your argument.

Should be

Doesn't change the fact they are starting and are sophomores

quote:

behind 2 upperclassmen

...this again

quote:

not starting. an upperclassman is

played the entire second half and probably will start at some point.

But go ahead and continue your argument, clearly you have an agenda
