Greater Christian Atlanta has produced several "FBS Series" players in the past including one notorious offensive lineman for Alabama; the much maligned Chris Capps. Let me introduce you to the latest offensive line product from GAC. His name is T-Bob Hebert. He is the starting center for the LSU Tigers and will be matched up with none other than Mt. Cody.
Tale of the Tape
T-Bob Hebert............... Terrance Cody
Height 6' 3"........................ 6' 5"
Weight 285........................ 365
Just a little size mismatch for the son of former New Orleans Saint (Michigan Panther <usfl> and Atlanta Falcon) Bobby Hebert. You may think to yourself, "well, Mt. Cody is larger than most centers in college football so who cares if this kid is smaller than Cody? They'll double team him anyway, right?"
As true as that may be, if there has been one critique of this LSU team and if there has been one weakness, it has been the offensive line. LSU is tops in the league in allowing sacks and has some of the worst offensive numbers not only in the SEC but in the nation (106th). There is a reason Scott finally enjoyed rushing for over 100 yards last week....against Tulane. Tulane, by the way, ranks 108th nationally against the run and against much weaker competition than the SEC. Don't let that drubbing of the Green Wave fool you.
Add to this some remarks by some of the Tigers own fanbase over the concern of T-Bob versus Cody taken from one of their message forums and you get the idea that people that know T-Bob best have cause for concern: (From Tigerdroppings.com)
So who will assist the young Mr. T-Bob against Mt. Cody? Les Miles didn't mince words and said in his Monday Press Luncheon that he would put two players on Cody. The first candidate is LSU SR OG, Lyle Hitt. He stands 6' 2" and weighs in at 295 according to the LSU program. Debatable. What's not debatable, if you watched any of the LSU/Florida game is the Gator defensive line pushed these two guys (Hebert and Hitt) around like cheap tackling dummies. Against a decent defensive front, the Tigers amassed a total of 3 points. I don't see this game shaping up any differently. With Mt. Cody occupying more than his fair share of space in the middle, Alabama will stunt, rush and malign Jordan Jefferson all afternoon long in Bryant Denny.
I am not too certain that our defense will wear down the LSU offense. They won't be on the field long enough to do so. I know everyone is expecting this epic showdown and are looking at the remainder of intangibles but I don't have to look no further than the hero of the latest Daniel Moore painting to know what kind of game this will be. It will be one that if Alabama only scores another 12 points, it may be plenty enough to beat these Tigers.

That is just a sampling.
