Well, there you have it. Helluva game, but - as we've said all year - we're not talented enough to make mistakes and still win. LSU obviously is.
Since I have a little time to discuss it tonight, we'll look at the amount of talent that LSU is losing this year - and look ahead to next year. I'm already tired of hearing about LSU's bullshit heroics - so I want to start looking ahead to the Mississippi State game as much as possible.
I'll give you a list of everyone that is graduating this year from LSU. I'll put an asterisk next to the ones that are starters. See if you notice any of the ones that made big plays against 'Bama yesterday.
#7 Ali Highsmith - LB - 6'1" 223lbs* #9 Early Doucet - WR - 6'1" 210lbs* #13 Donnie Chaucer - DB - 5'11" 190lbs #13 Jimmy Welker - QB - 6'3" 223lbs #15 Matt Flynn - QB - 6'3" 227lbs* #16 Craig Steltz - S - 6'2" 209lbs* #18 Jacob Hester - FB - 6'0" 224lbs* #19 Jonathan Zenon - CB - 6'0" 180lbs* #21 Chevis Jackson - CB - 6'0" 184lbs* #23 Josh McManus - WR - 5'11" 192lbs #35 Luke Sanders - LB - 6'5" 242lbs #36 Patrick Fisher - P - 6'5" 238lbs* #38 Anthony Zehyoue - DE - 6'1" 270lbs #39 Caleb Angelle - DE - 6'5" 230lbs #40 Shawn Jordan - FB - 5'11" 254lbs #49 Kirston Pittman - DE - 6'4" 252lbs* #51 Jacob O'Hair - SNP - 6'2" 237lbs #59 Cole Louviere - OL - 6'5" 291lbs #71 Carnell Stewart - OT - 6'5" 320lbs* #72 Glenn Dorsey - DT - 6'2" 303lbs* #73 Will Arnold - OL - 6'5" 330lbs #81 Mit Cole - TE - 6'4" 260lbs #88 Donald Hains - DL - 5'11" 243lbs #89 Keith Zinger - TE - 6'4" 250lbs*
Yeah, so that's 12 starters that are seniors, and are leaders on this football team that Saban brought in that will now be gone. Booyah.
I'll talk more about it tomorrow before the Miss St talk.
