2007 SEC Football Thread

Can Tebow really stand up to all this punishment?

60 yards per game is one thing. 160 is something completely on a new level.

It's hugely impressive, but, in a conference where starting running backs have trouble making it through the year uninjured, I'm having trouble thinking Tebow will make it.

Hopefully you guys know me as an LSU alum, but NOT a homer.

Of course, LSU is probably the best D we see all year, although they've shown a bit of susceptibility to the pass.

They have? I have not seen it. And I've been watching carefully. Jonathan Zenon and Chevis Jackson are legit lock down corners, and probably the best duo in the country. Craig Steltz is clearly in the category of "bad ass white boy." Taylor is the closest thing the defense had to a weak link, which likely makes him the strongest weak link in college football.

Jasper Brinkley out for the year

horrible break for USC

one thing is they still don't quite have all the depth the other SEC teams do

Not sure if they can make a run at the East title now

Poor kid. I hope he can get a medical redshirt or something. This can't help his draft position (he's a senior).

[MyTurn2Raise]

IIRC, medical redshirts are only for those who have played 20% or less of games in a year

in FBS, that's 2 or less games


I think he's screwed

Bama/FSU game is somewhat interesting. Bama 3 tough SEC games which were very emotionally draining & FSU coming off a bye week yet huge off the field problems. I think Saban/Bama running game will be the difference though.

Roll Tide, please.

Ok I dont think LSU's secondary is suspect or bad or anything like that, but they are a bit untested IMO. Look at the teams theyve played: MSU and VT have absolutely terrible QBs and USC have Mitchell who is slighty better than absolutely terrible (none of these teams have great playmaker receivers either). Lets face it, you cant run the ball on LSU, its just not gonna happen, theyre too nasty up front. A team like Florida might be able to come in and light up the LSU secondary with playmakers like Harvin and Caldwell with Tebow throwing it. And lets face it the LSU/UF game is gonna be the 3:30pm CBS game (maybe will start @ 5pm with this new time). So no crazy night atmosphere in tiger stadium.

Basically living in Houston and dealing with so many homer insane LSU fans has made me want your team to lose so I could be biased. But a lot of people I know think LSU has some manifest destiny where they cannot lose and I disagree. This stuff doesnt really apply to you but I dont deal with you irl.

Is Lee starting or Weatherford? Do they go with multiple Qbs throughout the game?
