He put Clyde No 1 and said based on the film he saw “it wasn’t even close.”

He also had Joe No 1 at QB, JJ No 2 at WR (behind CeeDee Lamb) and K’Lavon at No 2 EDGE rusher.

He loves this LSU class.

ETA: he’s also not high on Alabama players, putting Tua at No 4 (behind Joe, Justin and Jordan) and didn’t have Jerry Jeudy in his top 5.

There is a reason most of our games weren't competitive

that's retarded. Dobbins is better for sure by a pretty significant margin.

Jerry Jeudy will be a solid NFL WR but Tua is made of glass and isn't going to do shite in the NFL. He's going to explode the first time he gets sacked.

Hes not wrong. This team was something we may never see again. Watch any game again and you will realize how elite we were.

I see your point. Dobbins is for sure better as a pure runner but Clyde is much better as an NFL style RB who can pick up blocks and receive out of the backfield. not to mention his lateral quickness is above and beyond everyone else in the draft. It seems as offense progresses to more spread out, RB becomes less and less about actually running. if that makes sense

Based on his injury history, that's mighty generous, IMO.

He had Dobbins behind Clyde and Taylor. He based it on the film he watched. What do you base your opinion on that Dobbins is better than Clyde by a significant margin?

Dalton Hilliard was always my all-time favorite Tiger. After last year, I'm conflicted...CEH is now right there with him.

Man, that Bama game....there were at least 4-5 plays in that game...maybe more where the Bama defense whipped us, had the play defended perfectly, and CEH made a move or broke a tackle and turned nothing into big plays for us. He was simply fantastic, and he pretty much did that all year.

The talent level on this team may very rival the level of the ‘79 USC team that played in TS that year.

Tua has so many injuries it’s hard to keep track of which one happened on his first sack. Was it the ankle, wrist, or knee that went on that one?

What about 2003 USC team?? All that talent with Leinart -QB/ Bush, Lendale White, C Washington -RB's/ Mike Williams, Steve Smith, Keary Colbert -WR's/ Sam Bakker, Ryan Kalil -OL/ Sedrick Ellis -DL/ Lofa Tatupa -LB/

Others , I'm probably leaving out, but just a shite load of talent drafted from that team here and there down the road.

Dobbins dropped 2 wide open td passes against Ohio St. Dobbins may be the better rb prospect but the talent that he goes up against the big 10 week in and week out Isnt close to what Clyde faced in the sec. The margin isn't is as far as you think.

… or carried defenders. CEH and Dalton have a very similar style.
