way to find the one thing in my statement you actually want to answer and miss the actual question.

no i think it's pretty clear that if i think only 1 positional grouping had a talent advantage, that the other team was more talented

RS Jr LAfell, Sr, Byrd, Jr dickson, and So tolliver > So Bowe/Davis and Fs Doucet


Byrd hasn't done shite, didn't do shite last night, and has been nicked up for a good part of the season.

Toliver has only shown up in the past 2 games.

The trio from 2004 were first round draft picks. Doucet would have been had he not been injured.

quote:

not his fault we make it obvious when we run and make it easy to stop him


dude, Addai was still able to dominate in these situations. 2004 UF was exactly the same. we ran it over 30 times with him, and he sitll had about 5 YPC and carried us for the win. This is not even ounting the fact tat Broussard has a lot more rushing yards than him.


quote:

and let's not forget keiland and murphy, who were not used last night for some reason


Murphy hasn't done that great, and Keiland finally played well against Bama.

TJ plays in coverage a shitload. spears had the occasional zone blitz

TJ plays coverage so much that he barely got to rush the passer last year

Spears is one of the main reasons why we won the national title in 2003. He was a man in that game.

dude, we didn't just run it up the middle

hell remember the defining play agianst UF? it was a play action pass where we faked the run outside and then passed it to addai. how often did we even run it outside last night?

he was playing great before bama

i want dumbass tepper tigers like bayourant to stop comparing the 2 games. other than our opponent having the same name, the games were completely different. 2004 Troy is like 2008 AU or 2008 MSU, not 2008 Troy



your comparison of 2004 troy and 2008 troy

also earlier you mention the 04 team having Ware and having no one near as talented.

actually the main reason i say that was because of what people used to say about him and basketball

he was a 6-3 guy, and there were a bunch of threads back in the day about how LSU basketball would be a better team with him playing center. and then people kept bringing up how he was this great athlete, blach blah blah

people just loved spears b/c (a) he was local (b) he chose LSU over better programs and (c) he was a good guy

and he wasn't a bad player or anything, but LSU fans turn spears into shawn merriman

yeah, I was there. he did an excellent job of setting up a UGA TD.

but since we are talking about the Troy game, what did he do last night? apparently he is acting like quite a bitch.

and?

yep

quote:

not running a 4.55


This may be his official combine time, but I know he was faster than that.

we did a lot.

yeah, now that you bring that up, he was a better receiver.

Is that why he's still playing for the Cowboys? Cause they dont force him to occupy OTs?

so he is overrated because he wasn't a physical freak?

2004 troy or 2008 troy which is better SFP
you seem to be flip flopping, one minute you say that 08 sucks then you say that 04 is like 08 auburn or MSU

so which wast better?


then you argument is that lsu 08 is much more talented then 04 yet it was 08's more talented team being dominated 75 % of the game.

so how could you choose 08 over 04 when 04 was only dominated once all season (georgia) and 08 has been dominated nearly every game and just managed to escape with wins.
