since we only have 30 days until kickoff i thought it would be interesting to compare rosters. who starts and why?
Oh, and Robiskie would start over LaFell and Hartline would start over Mitchell and probably Tolliver.
There were a good number of their players on Kipers top 5 draft prospects by position list. Any of them probably could, or at least push hard for the job.
Malcolm Jenkins for sure. Lil Animal, Gholston and Heyward are very good also. Hard to compare really but 3 of these guys are projected as first rounders and Heuward is a freshman starting so he obviously has a ton of talent. Also, the strength of LSU's d-line seems to be up the middle so it appears that Ohio State's end might be better. I agree with the offensive choices. The two receivers, probably Beanie (no offense to Hester) because a healthy Beanie Wells might have McFadden numbers this year. It's scary how good of a back he is.
Hard for me to answer this without knowing LSU's talent well. Barton was an AA selection, and Boone is a potential 1st rounder in the '09 draft. Beanie & Robiskie (the healthy version) would start. Gholston & Wilson (healthy) might start. Laurinaitis & Jenkins. Washington would have a shot (better cover man than Jenkins). Jamario O'Neal would likely start (tremendous athlete, still lacking instincts to start at S, but an impact gunner). They often rotate in one of our starting CBs or FS at the other gunner spot.
Tressel for Miles. Brian Robiskie (885 yards, 10 TDs) for LaFell LB James Laurinaitis (103 tackles) for Sanders
