Is he going to get the Rashard Rob treatment or the Tre White beatdown?



With all due respect, Martin-Manley has 30 lbs on White and 40lbs on Robinson. I think he, as a fourth-year junior can handle himself out there against either of those two true frosh CBs, particularly in the run game.

I know those CBs are talented, but I'll take a player with four years in a BCS-level S&C program versus skill guys with less than a semester's worth of that level of S&C work.

Just my opinion - and I'd feel the exact same way irrespective of the opponent. Not a knock on LSU or those two kids in particular.

Robinson held up pretty well against Mike Evans, who had an even bigger weight advantage and gets away with murder against opposing CBs. and Tre plays because our "big" CB Jalen Collins is allergic of contact in the run game. it's not the size of the dog in the fight...

Fair enough. Iowa & A&M are night and day in terms of offensive philosophies and what they demand out of their receivers and TEs. Should be a good match up out there tomorrow. Glad to hear about the size of the fight in the dog...that's the same way we feel, being unranked, lil' ol' Iowa

Whats the Iowa player supposed to say?? Honestly... is he supposed to say "oh they are great we arent confident at all we cant compete". Seriously. This isnt talking smack. This is an Iowa football player saying they feel confident playing against us.

Talking smack would be saying "they suck we are going to destroy them on national television and show them how to play football"... thats smack talk. Saying they are confident is not smack talk.
