Gators Trey Burton disses Tiger DBs

From the Orlando Sentinel;
Trey Burton says Alabama defense tougher than LSU
Florida’s run game has slipped considerably in the past two weeks, but facing two of the best defenses in the country will do that do a team. After LSU held the Gators to a season-low 213 yards, running back Trey Burton was asked about the Tigers’ secondary.

“They’re not as good as advertised,” he said. “I think the D-linemen and front seven is really, really good.”

For all the attention given to standout CB Tyrann Mathieu, who had his second interception of the season on Saturday, the stats back Burton up. LSU ranked ninth in the SEC in passing defense and eighth in interceptions entering the game.

Burton was also asked to compare the two defenses. (It seemed the reporter is working on something in advance of the team’s Nov. 5 matchup, which many think will determine which team plays for a national championship.)

“Alabama’s hands down a lot better. A lot more physical, just tougher guys,” Burton said. “If I had to pick one to not go against, it’d definitely be Alabama.”

 

Sure, Trey. You're not just being a butthurt prick. We believe you.

 

More locker room material!:tigereye:

 

For the SECCG?

You may get your wish, Burton. Just take care of bidness and you'll have to not play bama again. . .and the result will be the same, if not worse.

 

Sour Grapes!!!!

He got his A$$ handed to him two weeks in a row and is looking for some payback. Jump pass and a Punter (mind you) running in a TD probably hurt his feelings so he is lashing out. If he thinks this statement worries this team he is wrong. With all our team has been through this year, they are battle tested. Same can't be said for the easy road Bama has had. We sure have a lot more weapons for Bama to worry about than just a couple running backs. Our greatest one being the crazy talking, grass eating, trick play, gentleman we have coaching our team.:miles::geauxtige

TM7_Era Tyrann Mathieu
I love the fact that Trey Burton from Florida opens his mouth and say OUR SECONDARY is not good, lol Boy you are Soft as cotton! #1Lsu

 

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Soft as cotton! LOL Maybe sombody can make some calls and get Burton a try out for the powder puff league.

 

I did see TM7 jawing at him a bit during the game. He probably hurt Trey's feelings.

 

Dear Trey Burton(???) call us when you matter!

 

Either he's not planning on playing in the SEC Championship, or he's really, really dumb. Could be both.
