Defensively, the secondary had Chris Williams, Willie Teal and James Britt...they all spent lots of time playing on Sundays...



....as did Clinton Burrell.

To answer the OP's question, those teams wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against todays teams. I went to the LSUSports.net and looked at the rosters of teams in the early 80's of guys I knew and thought were pretty damn big at the time. It's amazing how most of those lineman weren't even 250 lbs.
