Now tell me how many of those teams did all of that after losing a starting LT, RT, RG, RB, 2 LBs, CB/PR, had 21 players miss 1 or more games throughout the year.


Every team deals with injuries etc. You must think the other 5 SEC teams are playing some RPG game where they are wearing helmets with injury immunity enchantments.

And the suspensions were self-inflicted.

Not even close to what Les had to deal with this year. Do some research.

i dont think its so much the amount of injuries as the positions that were hit by injury. Bama sustained plenty of injuries but they were to running backs and wrs who are easily replaceable. Ours hit on the oline and we had no answer for a few games.

Its a nice ten win season on one hand but also incredibly frustrating because the potential this team had.

Not to the extent we have.

Not always at their weakest points either.

And more to the point, the ones that do, usually don't have their entire season implode

This is actually part of what happened to USC....

Dumbest post ever. NO other team dealt with the significant losses Lsu encountered and it's not even close.

would be the same as bama losing: fluker, Cyrus k, steen, lacy, milliner, cj mosley, and nico Johnson for the season. Tell me how good bama would be without all those key pieces.

Lsu proved it's depth this season and les proved his elite status by winning 11 games and finishing top 5 (after we win the bowl game) even with these key players out.
