167back

Did you figure out my reference to those numbers? 45-7 was UT's record from '05 to '08. 27-24 was UT's record from '15 to '18'. Now you tell me what team would be in a better position to replace over half the starters on one side of the ball? A team that had been recruiting lights out for at least seven/eight years or a team that had two solid classes it's last two. A team that finished ranked all four years, three times top 10 and one of which won it all. Or a team that finished ranked ONCE? You can pretty much book it that '09 team was inserting HIGHLY recruited Jrs and Srs into the new starting roles. Grown ass men. They weren't banking on first and second year players would step up.

For what. I'm not the one doing a bunch of cussing. Degrading ut fans. I'm just responding to what UT fans are posting on here. If I see some wrong info about LSU I try to correct it. If I see something about the horns I don't know I ask questions. Brother don't ever go on the SEC rant if you can't handle this. Better yet please all you UT fans venture onto SEC rant or tiger droppings. We would love to have you.

Question for you. That 5* from out west end up at UT or SC. If he's stayed out west that #3 class really isn't #3 now is it? Numbers being so tight in top 5 classes pretty sure horns would have dropped a couple of spots. At least below LSU for sure. What you think? Can't speak for the big XII but, there are at least five SEC teams that recruit to that level on a yearly basis. Honestly classes ranked in top 7 usually are not that different talent wise.

Six is still less than eight. Those new starters on that '09 defense how many were they Srs and Jrs? You seem like you're an intelligent man. One is not like the other. 45-7 VS 27-24 Which one do you think is capable of replacing over half the starters on one side the ball? here are some more numbers #4 - #10 - #13 - #1 VS #9 RB is a singular position. Nothing like having to replace eight starters on one side of the ball.

you got ONE of the three right.

so a WR that caught seven passes last year was actually one of top six on '18 roster? and a WR that had ONE catch on the season was also in the two deep ? Your starting four WRs played almost every snap or #5 and #6 just weren't good enough to get open?? Inquiring minds want to know. We have five of the top six covered. Who was the fourth WR?

bad sign can BROSS MON CHU!!!!

rotated in plenty and looked good??? you sure that's what you meant to type?? all those guys on DL might have rotated in plenty but, if that's the case they surely didn't produce while they were on the field . I'm sure you're familiar with the numbers but I will post them anyway. This is strictly Dline' DL - starters lost -3 - total tackles 115 - sacks 12 projected two deep on Dline 8 starts combined (5-2-1 three players) - total tackles 48 - sacks 0.5 horns lose seven of top ten tacklers. lose top three in sacks. lose seven of top nine in TFL and horn fans think the new guys will beat the numbers from the '18 team. Well lets all hope that happens after sept 7th.

LSU won because of a bad game by fromm and turnovers. This was VS ut. first quarter bulldog punter catches snap with knee on ground at own 22. uga fumbles somewhere around their own 30, was it. uga punter shanks one out at midfield. This was all in the first quarter. BUT LSU won it's game vs the dawgs because fromm had a bad game. FYI LSU was the only "D" in SEC to hold opponents to under a 50% completion rate for the season. Could it be that had something to do with fromm's bad game?

Had an old man tell me one day a man's intelligence is inversely proportional to the amount he cusses. Thank you for PROVING his point couyon.

Moreau was wasted in passing game. LSU had five WRs with more reception yardage.

Guarantee you Kary Vincent and Derick Stingly can run stride for stride with that boy.

hey hank. BROSS MON CHU!!! bless your heart

You really see the texas "O" having an advantage against the tiger "D". Can you please explain that to this dumb old Cajun from down the bayou. make sure you type real slow so I can keep up. OK.

that's about the same breakdown for ut right? 55% run 45% pass?

horns return two of top six WRs. LSU returns top six. I take the tigers any day. much harder to defend six than two

I get the hatred for BYU. You're not over that butt whipping they put on you a few years back. Just because they are an independent doesn't mean the are not on par with at least half the P5 schools. Over the past five years these are some of BYU's victims texas, virginia, cal, nebraska. #20 boise st ( do you consider P5 quality?), cincy (2x), Arizona (2x), mich st, miss st, #20 utah and #6 wisconsin. Badgers were last year. Horns haven't beat anyone ranked higher under Hermann's coaching. These are some schools the cougars played within one score over same time frame # 10 ucla (2x), #18 Utah (2x), wv, #14 boise, and cal. With the big xxi playing nine conference games all that does is make sure Hermann gets to play kansas, baylor and texas tech every year. As for strength of schedule in '17 horns played five top 20 teams. In '18 they played five top 20 teams. Their record was 4-6. Biggest win was #6 uga in sugar bowl. Horns have two wins VS top 10. In '17 lsu played four top 20 teams . In '18 they played seven top 20 teams. Their record was 7-4. Biggest win was vs #2 uga. Tigers had five wins vs top 10 teams. LSU has played more ranked opponents. They have beaten more top 20 and have more wins vs top 10 than horns have vs top 20. LSU goes from 8 to 9 to 10 wins and that's flat. OK. As for the upperclassmen I counted 21 for the horns on the two deep I saw. They lost 17 lettermen. Granted not all 17 were in the two deep but I can't see how the number of upperclassmen is that much higher in '19 than it was in '18. You know your roster better than me though. In contrast LSU has 30 upperclassmen on two deep. Tigers return 17 players on "O" that played some serious minutes. On defense it was 17 also. That's a lot of returning experience the horns have to overcome. So 16 returning starters from the #6 team in the country. Thirty upperclassmen in the two deep. Thirty four players with significant minutes last season and 48 lettermen returning is a weak ass argument. You actually believe this UT longhorn team will be better this year?? You're basing that on potential more than returning production. You are really putting a lot of faith in first and second year players.

My partner if those new defensive starters are better by game two they should have been starting last year. Just for fun let's say the new starters are just as good. How do the new backups stack up against last years backups? Need more than 11 to play solid "D". LSU has played better every year than the year before since EdO took over. Hermann is 17-10 in his fist two years in Austin. EdO is 25-9 in two plus years in br. It's been a while since I was in Mr Babineaux's math class at Garfield but I'm pretty sure EdO has the better winning percentage against a tougher schedule. EdO in conference 15-5. Only conference loss to a team without a conferencing winning record was to MS St in '17, they finished 4-4 in SEC. Hermann conference record 12-7. Conference losses to teams with a losing conference '18 Ok St (3-6) and '17 TT (3-6). As of now I would have to say EdO has actually outcoached Hermann to date. Especially with LSU playing in the tougher conference. You are correct sir. LSU does have the deeper more experienced roster.

Did any of those starters lost off that '18 defense get granted another year of eligibility?

Slow your roll dude. No need to get a heart attack. All I said was horns recovered a fumble inside uga 30. Never said they just dropped it. How bout this. Great play by horns "D". On a SLOBERKNOCKER of a hit by a horns defender dawgs lose the ball and horns recover deep in uga territory. GREAT play by that awesome UT "D". Does that make you feel better. Other two comments about the punter was all on the PUNTER. Nothing horns did played a part in either play.

Saw that somewhere else on here. Could you please enlighten me as to when and where did aranda and hermann go head to head? The only thing I can tell you about TCU is LSU scored 37 on them in '13 which was the last time they play. Second most points horned frogs gave up all season. Only baylor put up more.

My bad. You're right. What I meant to put was scoring avg for the season not conference only. So it's only one big xii team scored above their season avg VS SEC opponents.

My comment about Mizzou and ut was in direct regards to the Mizzou "D" and the horns "O". Your response was about Mizzou "O" and ut "D". They don't correlate. As for your comment about ut/uga. LSU scored more and gave up less than the horns. Simple as that.

LSU scored more and gave up less VS uga. Does that mean tigers offense and defense were better than ut's last year? FOUR SEC teams scored more against mizzou than the horns. Missouri St and Purdue did also. what does it matter when a OOC game is scheduled? Twelve games is twelve games. Last year two of horns last three were TT and Kansas. Really tough competition there. Out of the eight bowl games ( '18 season) the SEC played in that had options to pick teams. Only ONE involved a game where the SEC opponent finished higher ranked in their respective conference. That was KY ( #2 east) vs Penn ST ( #3 east) Wildcats won.

that's the kind of thinking that got Les Miles fired. It almost backfired on the horns, right? One score game with time on clock anything is possible.
