re: Muschamp on the LSU Defense...

It would be interesting to see a thread on how all these players leaving early have done in the NFL. I know some have done well but I think many haven't.

Nutt jumped in and said that LSU will be back on top within a year or two, but that the struggles are directly related to losing all of those early entrees.....

The fact that people still don't get that, boggles the mind. Look at South Carolina. I said this all during the offseason that they were going to fall having to replace all that talent on the DL and secondary.. On the DL alone, they lost starters Quarles, Sutton, and Clowney.

The fact that LSU played even remotely as good as our DL did last year, should be high praise.

after 2012, we lost Downs, Montgomery, Mingo, Logan, and Edwards, just on DL alone!!!! That same year, we also lost Minter, Reid, and Simon. Before that season, we lost Mathieu. Now that is 9 freaking players from the defense that either started, or were on the field so much, they might as well have been the starters. Of course two weren't early entrants, but you get way I am saying.

Losing all of that from the defense, and playing like we did last year, is award worthy. We just thought, hey, we're LSU. We have players for days. plug and play every year. For fricks sake, nobody had that, not even Bama.

Bama has yet to see the real offenses of the SEC, and when they do, it's going to be a real eye opener on how not good they are. I said last weekend before their game, that Ole Miss would expose them. Ole Miss with no run game, and a guy the call Good Bo/Bad Bo beat them.

Wait til they face Duke and Coates, and the Marshall ground attack. Wait til they face Dak and that balanced high powered offense. Wait til they face TAMU's air attack. Hell, WVU lost that game more than Bama won it.
