I know, I don't like saying it. But, it's fact based. I mean, think about it. One of our leaders on defense right now is a transfer from MTSU. One of our starters on the OL is a transfer from UAB and used to be a DT. Motley is a hell of a player when you look at his potential. But, we are starting a red shirt frosh in one of the main positions on defense...a position you normally see a red shirted Jr or Sr doing well. The defense as a whole is playing a lot better than we expected. That credit goes to coaching more so than talent. When you think about it, about the only two players we'd see starting around the SEC are probably Simeon and Gilberry. AND, Gilberry was a crap shoot from the start where Shula actually pulled a sleeper out of the midst.

On offense, it's about the same situation. Andre's and DJ would likely start at a lot of schools, Andre definitely.

Our backfield?

Caldwell and Walker might start...depending on what school they were attending. We've seen just the kind of player Brown is...but, that's a story in itself better left alone until he's no longer with the team.
