He said we only had Jenkins, Floyd and Sanders coming back as starters.
And that we had lost 3 starters on the DL---Drew, Thornton and Toby Johnson plus 2 ILBs who had made 1st and 2nd team all-SEC, plus our best DB in Swann. And that it was going to be awfully hard to replace that much experience....a bunch of 22 year old guys with a bunch of 18 year olds.
Seemed to really be lowering expectations for an improved D this year.
I was just wondering because it seems that Mauger and Bailey and Aaron Davis started most of the time last year while Lo Carter and Parrish and Dawson got a few starts. Plus Reggie Carter and Kimbrough have been here awhile.
Coach talk along the lines of Dooley back in his poor mouthing days or should we tamper down our expectations for the D this year?
