    Got me there, I love the LSU trivia......

    Name this guy:

    This former LSU Football player finished LSU as an offensive guard. He was one of the few players to play in all four of the Vikings Super Bowl appearances. He was switched to LB in the Pros.

    Winston delivered one of the most devastating tackles ever filmed. In a game against the Miami Dolphins in 1972, fullback Larry Csonka circled out into the flat to catch a pass. Just as he caught the pass, Winston hit him from behind with such force that the 240-pound Csonka was nearly cut in half. The tackle was so grotesque it was shown on The Tonight Show. Csonka dropped the ball and rolled on the field in agony. He thought his back was broken and literally crawled off the field (he was not seriously injured, however). After their respective retirements from the NFL, Winston and Csonka remained close friends. Csonka invited Winston to be his guest when Csonka was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame......:tigereye:

    Scout.com: Chavis feeling confident

    With Barkevious Mingo and Ken Adams comes speed.
    “I don’t think you’ll find two faster defensive ends in the country,” Chavis said. “They may be playing side-by-side or they may be playing across from each other.”

    Only in the Pac 10 does such offensive arrogance go on with impunity. In the SEC what you're implying is often met with resistance and disdain. For every little fast guy that needs space to do their thing, it's going to be challenged by an LSU defender that wants to know how high a duck can bounce.

    The question is how long it takes LSU to get passed all this high flying, star wars, X's and O's and and get this thing into an old fashion fist fight. Talking about stop watches and wide open naked reverses and rapid fire, time contingency issues, won't scare an upper level SEC defense that believes, "everyone has a plan, till you get hit in the mouth."

    Someone said that the LSU defense was built for this style of offense, but in recent years, we've had considerable trouble with mobile quarterbacks.

    Of course, they were all in the SEC. The ones we've faced outside our conference haven't posed much of a problem.

    Oregon's little guys probably remember what it's like to get hit by an SEC defender, and that was a sub-par SEC defense. LSU may or may not have the scoring power of Auburn under sCam Newton, but they SURE as Hell have a far superior defense.

    trent richardson scares me a hell of a lot more than lamichael james. he might be a step slower but just as quick and twice as powerful.

    I still don't think that was a touchdown last year.
