I remember thinking Kwon was special, but I honestly can't remember much in the way of details. All I know is that I was truly excited about him...ala Mathieu in his"pre HB" days.
Kwon's athleticism is off the charts and it was really ashame he got injured. I remember when our LBs went down in that game, Florida just went right at our inexperienced backup LBs and that's when they scored their 2 touchdowns. Otherwise I think LSU could have come out of there with a 6-0 or 6-3 win. Crazy to think LSU was not very far from going undefeated in the SEC for two straight seasons. Something Spurrier could not even do in his 90s dominance.
Not to start up this LB thing, but Minter, Minter, Minter. Alexander, is not replacing Minter. And right now is hard to see the quality player that is in the middle of a very young defense.
Yep, looks like the same thing was said when we had to replace Riley, Sheppard, Minter, etc. Happens every year, thats football. With the loss of players, lately, we have a young defense every year. I just see LB as the deepest position on that side of the ball. As for young, we return 9 players that started games last year and around 25 that played in games last year. We are lacking in depth right now, but that will change in the Fall.
Just going over your depth chart. The junior exodus will make this a team with a heavy lean toward offensive production. No doubt Chavis will give a ton of players plenty of early playing opportunities on D and figure out what he has.
LSU returns a dozen of the leading 20 tacklers from last year. Y'all return 14 of 20, so same thing? UGA only returns 8 of 20, so you do the math. I do see the offense scoring points, thats what Cam does. Like I said, depth coming in the Fall. I'm just ready for football. Having to watch the NFL network gets old too fast.
Cameron stretching the field on pretty much every play and throwing underneath stuff. Wow, that should be different. Easy to speculate on Hill, but heard Hilliard has got himself in better shape and focus, but without Hill, the running position has to stay healthy. No Mett at the Manning camp? Hard to believe that youth is ever served well in the SEC, but the Tigers are always putting players on the field. We just did it coming off the 2011 season. Eric Reid leaving early is a big fill in the middle of the D. My guess in the West: Bama, LSU, TAMU, Miss, Auburn, Miss St, R-ky,
