Gary Patterson on Freak: “We’ve watched him on tape. We didn’t play against a DT like him last year"

Patterson said the offensive line is the most improved group on the football team. “Now what does that mean against LSU and [junior defensive tackle] Anthony Johnson?” Patterson said. “We’ve watched him on tape. We didn’t play against a defensive tackle like him last year.”

 

This says more about the Big 12 than it does Anthony Johnson...

 

Aw, Patterson is dishing out compliments to LSU because he's trying to overshadow what he said about Miles letting Hill back on the team.

here's a longer version of the quote:

“What does that mean against LSU and Anthony Johnson? We’ve watched him on tape. We didn’t play against a defensive tackle like that last year. He’s a really good player. Our young tackles are better than they were at the end of the spring. What does that mean? I don’t know until a ballgame. We’re going to find out.”

 

Tease.

 

Your enthusiasm is admirable, but does anyone really read all that? Serious question.....anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

 

Should be able to skim it in a few seconds and need what you need to know

 

That and get the excuse wagon together for when they get stomped.

 

He should of just said" we have not faced a kick ass smash mouth in your face DEFENSE like LSU has had for years and we are scared! These men are not like the pansies of the BIG 12 and my stupid comments about LES have them pissed and they are bringing the PAIN!!"
