Back in 1957 football season LSU had one of the most if not the most lightest D-line on any team to win a National Championship.

The name of that Defense was the "Chinese Bandits" and they controled the line of scrimage with their quickness and the will to not let anyone control them at the point of contact.

That is the most critical thing for a D-lineman is not to let his counter-part control him at the point of contact and with that advantage they are able to make the play before it has chance to develope.

I am hoping that the speed and quickness that this team has will give them that edge if only they learn to use it to their advantage. Their weight will be an asset and not a liability I want to name this group the
"Second Coming of The Chinese Bandits".

Yes, but what you don't mention is that they were 2nd/3rd string, and therefore didn't play much in a game.

White
Go
Bandits

Granted the substitution rules at the time required platooning, so they got a lot more playing time then then a 3rd stringer would today, but they didn't have to play as much as defensive starters do today.

As good as people remember the Bandits, I don't think they were as good as the White team, just usually fresher.
