    What an athlete. He had a hell of game last night! The offense surprised me. Georgia gave out, I believe. Our offense has really come around.

    I was going to post this, but forget...The main reason JV had that 85 yard run was because Wilkerson came off the line and pulled all the way to right part of the field and came up with a HUGE block....This guy is the unsung hero of our team, IMO...

    I've been watching this guy for 3 years now. Remember Va Tech last year. He got hurt early & we lost. He also missed the Texas game last year. He is by far my favorite offensive lineman.

    Yeah the announcers were simply amazed a center had the athletic ability to get that far out in front of the play and make a downfield block. It was the cleanest running play of the year, picture perfect blocking, just like you draw it up.

    He is the heart of the line!!

    From what I have heard he is the heart of the line..but guys...the offensive line took it to Georgia in the 3rd and 4th quarter. It appeared to just wear them down and open holes and go downfield and make some great blocks.

    Hope Saban and the coasches continue to produce lines like they did this year!

    GEAUX TIGERS!
