Preseason SEC Defensive Backs Rankings

by Staff Reporter

August 21, 201514 Comments

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN writer Edward Aschoff ranked the SEC defensive backs in his preseason position rankings article Friday and pegged LSU at No. 2 behind the Florida Gators. Here is what he had to say about the Tigers:

quote:
2. LSU: The Tigers are convinced they own the "DB U" banner that Florida claimed earlier this year. LSU has an argument after leading the conference in pass-defense efficiency last season (101.6). Excellent cover corner Tre'Davious White (two interceptions) and up-and-coming safety Jamal Adams (66 tackles) lead a deep secondary. Junior Rickey Jefferson must replace star safety Jalen Mills (fracture fibula) for a few weeks, but he has played in 20 games in two years.

Complete DB rankings:
1. Florida
2. LSU
3. Ole Miss
4. Georgia
5. Tennessee
6. Arkansas
7. Missouri
8. Alabama
9. Auburn
10. South Carolina
11. Kentucky
12. Mississippi State
13. Vanderbilt
14. Texas A&M

Ed did not display good journalism based on his bias alumni position with Florida. That was a very poor commentary without any definitive references to support his B.S. claims.

Therefore, Ed, this slogan is dedicated to you regarding what Tigers' fans tell opposing teams in Death Valley:

S@CK THAT TIGER @ICK @ITCH!

Geaux Tigers

I see two reasons why they would put Florida ahead of us. They have the bigger name/star player in Vernon Hargreaves and we lost our most veteran player and leader to injury for a few games. Yea we've got great young players but no one outside of Louisiana knows who they are

"14. Texas A&M "

This cat graduated from UF. No shock he picked them #1 with all their recent "real DBU" crap.

Stats show LSU had the best past efficiency defense last year and added even more insane talent to the group returning.

Yet, this jack-leg ranks Florida 1st.

Homerism much?

Louisianaboy87•110 months

Come on man, he went to the university of Florida! Of course he's gonna rank them number 1. Get an unbiased opinion please! Next!

LSU uniform looks so much better in sunlight.

Geralt of Rantia•110 months

Yeaaaah no. Florida DBs are insanely overrated. LSU = real #1

TheLSUriot•110 months

"pegged LSU at No. 1 behind the Florida Gators"???

So...#2 then?

I'd say LSU has more than just an "argument", it's called "proof".
