Is the LSU DL the best in the country?

Without a doubt, and we are very Deep at DL.. I was just discussing with my cousin, I don't see a reason to blitz more than 5 on 2nd and 3rd Downs, just let these guys eat on the line and drop 6-7 in coverage....

I heard him and was wondering the same thing. It's hard to imagine a D-line better than ours given the depth and speed at the ends.

First of all, our DLine is proven, what has FL Sts DL proven? That they can beat OU and can't win the ACC.. Mingo and Monty seperate us from the rest of em..

One of, probably has the most Depth

FSU and Utah are up there

He said easily better than Alabama and LSU. Is actually what he said. Wasn't Pollack on the 2003 Georgia team that got waxed in the SEC Championship game?

Yea he is a certified LSU hater, he picked against us all year last season...

I think we are up there in the top 5 for sure. When you look at the talent level on the top of our depth chart and then see how deep it goes. It seems like these guys have no business getting tired when we play because as soon as you are out of breathe you switch with the next man.

I like to be objective, too - especially pre-season. We have LOTS of question marks - QB, WR(somewhat), LB and depth at DB. Having said that, defensive line isn't one of them. We have, arguably the best DE tandem in school history (and I say Spears/Hill is still the one to beat, but if anybody can do it, Mingo/Montgomery can) and certainly a duo containing 2 of the top 5 players at the position probably puts us at #1 (and certainly in the discussion), DE wise (Texas, maybe with Okafor and Jeffcoat, FSU has Jenkins and Warner, Bama has Square and Dial - who else has 2 nationally regarded DEs? And both of ours are underclassmen who will likely declare next year - the other tandems all have at least 1 senior)

As far as DTs, Bama plays a 3-4 and has Williams - that with their ends puts them in the discussion. FSU has Dawkins, tOSU has Goebel and Hankins, Utah has Lotulelai and Kruger, we have Logan.

Texas has great ends, but no (at least with high NFL interest at this time) standout DT. The reverse is true for tOSU (ETA: And Utah, for that matter). Bama, FSU and LSU have the combination of nationally regarded DEs AND DTs - Bama, although their line is outstanding, has a system more around LBers because that is the focus of the 3-4, FSU's line is outstanding as well, and they have a number of younger players (just as we do) - Jimbo is doing an excellent job recruiting. While I have those 3 lines as the top 3, overall, I do not have them in any particular order, nor can I say any of the 3 has "clearly" distanced itself from the other 2.

Anyone who follows college football knows FSU's DL is legit. IMO they have the best combination of experience and youth, the DL class they just signed is plain sick.

yes.....yes it is
