I think Jai Eugene is going to have an all SEC year his senior season, and if he does, he makes up for his extremely slow start. Dude is one of the best tacklers on the team.
I tried to make this point in another thread that suggested the o-line coach has to go. Take a look....that's 4, 4-star offensive linemen who would have been seniors and juniors this year. What kind of line would we have had if we still had those guys? Not to mention the defensive line; Barksdale was recruited as a defensive tackle. What would our defensive line been like if he were playing on that side of the ball?
Bandit88, Things become even more interesting when you look further back, wouldn't you agree? This is the class a former coach brought in after winning an SEC Championship.
