Unless LSU wins the next two - Wouldnt really say its a bust. Do people just all of a sudden forget that we lost 9 players to the draft? And 7 more players with UDFA contracts? Thats a total of 16 key contributors gone to the NFL. Majority of those guys were on the D side too. Before the season a lot of people were thinking 3-4 losses. Losing to UGA and Bama werent shocks or upsets. Ole Miss was, but they always play us tough and they are a program on the rise with a great young head coach. The problem is that when the season started and we saw we finally had a legit offense, but our D was struggling and looked bad. First time in quite a few years that has happened too. Everyone just happened to forget that we lost the most defensive talent out of any school in the country the year before and had a lot of new faces out there on D. We lost Mingo, who went #6 overall, and Reid, who when #18 overall, in the 1st round. Then we lost Minter, Logan, and Monty(and TM) in the 2nd and 3rd round. Then we lost Simon and Lavar later in the draft. Thats 7 HUGE contributors for us on D. A lot of people were expecting growing pains for us, the 1st time in quite a few years. Now that they are here, everyone is acting like they expected us to go undefeated this year. If we lose to Arky then I will call the season a bust. Losing to Bama, UGA, and TAMU is nothing to be ashamed of. Losing to Ole Miss is really the only true ugly mark we have on our record so far.
