There are 22 starters on the team. You just listed 16, 3 of which are underclassmen. If someone took the time to put together a list of underclassmen receiving playing time, it would be significant.

The simple fact is that our experienced units were destroyed last night as well. We're not as young as LSU fans want to believe.

This is probably the same statement that Tennessee and Florida fans tell themselves every weekend.

Honestly, what happened to this fanbase?

Thats the truth, this is bound to happen when you lose so many juniors to the NFL every year. It'll be fun to watch these freshman and sophomores progress!

Good post

Let's look a little closer at the youth

Who is starting at DT? A true Freshman, right?
Next to him is a sophmore...

And all the guys behind these two DT's have many starts? ZERO! Ok thomas but he is injured

What is killing the defense? "Soft up front"

Ok, so the youth in this critical position is big problem. the NFL took us dry! both Freak and Ego would be seniors right?

the DB's are young and very talented...


On the offense

We just sent our core to the NFL, QB, RB, WR and WR

plus a right guard...we set records last year...

when 17 true Freshmen are seeing a lot of playing time, that's a tale tale of "young team"

Just my opinion.

BTW: I can't believe Rasco is a senior, that doesn't look right
