    Must be an off year at linebacker or I'm missing something.

    That's not true.

    That has to be a fabricated list.

    I could put together a list of the top 12 LBs in the SEC and they wouldn't include anyone from LSU.

    i could probably come up with a top 12 in Louisiana that wouldn't include LSU.

    It's embarrassing enough they had 1, but to include a 2nd. Geez.

    Beckwith got it on prior history alone.

    I saw Perry Riley make exactly one impact play all season. One.

    Hatcher, where is my youtube video? :hihi:

    Lee is being considered for Heisman.

    But really, this goes to show all the stat guys around here that stats don't show everything, and that is probably why these two are on the list.

    "Hmmm... these two play for LSU and have a lot of tackles, and one is a senior. Let's put 'em on the list."

    Did these people watch any of the LSU games? LB was a weakness all year not a strength. Tackles 12 yards down the field are not impressive.
