re: Playing so many freshman;does Miles think he is leaving LSU

I don't think Miles has any intention of leaving. I think playing this many true freshman is a change not only at LSU but other schools. Coaches have to win now, can't hold talented kids out for a year if they can play now

Playing so many freshman;

I would guess that one factor leading to more freshmen playing this year than usual is that we had an unusual number of starters lost from last year, meaning there were only a few established starters coming into this year. That leaves competition more wide open, so he might be inclined to experiment more because of that.

No, it could be A reason. But more plausible is that Miles realizes that, whether fair or not, he no longer has the goodwill from winning a national title in 2007. So he is putting what he believes is the best players on the field to win. The last two recruiting classes were stout.

Now sit back and think about how good we should be in 2011.

I just think it is an indication of how stellar our last two classes were. We're getting contributions from RS and true freshmen this year that were both highly recruited (Montgomery, Reid, Mathieu, Downs, Mingo, Brockers) and not so highly recruited (Claiborne, Barrow, Williford, Blue, Adams (JUCO)). While the 2009 class was ranked No. 1 or 2 pretty much across the board, I think the 2010 class, while ranked in the Top 10, may end up being underrated in hindsight. We've got contributors from it already, and guys like Boone, Copeland, Ferguson, Dickson, Gore and Washington haven't really even seen the field yet.

It's time to be excited as an LSU fan, not the usual dumpy losers on here who have to nitpick every conceivable negative they can find about the team. At least let the season start to play out before we get so dang negative.

I swear, there were people on this board bitching that Blue got carries before Ford. So the hell what?! Blue scored a touchdown. Be happy that a not so highly recruited RB that we went after because we saw something in him that others did not scored as a true freshman. That's pretty cool knowing that we've got Ford, Ware and Gore already on the team and Hilliard, Hill and Magee on the way!!!
