re: Something to watch on LSU vs Alabama football recruiting

What Spurier was pointing out is that the level of weekly competition that you face with an SEC schedule is way more difficult than Texas ever faced before in the Big 12 or the SWC....
You’re not coming through that run unscathed, so you better be deep and mentally tough, or you’re dead.

There are a couple of reasons the SEC is tougher than the Big 12...one is the number of quality teams you have to play. The second reason is depth is much more important. IMO, Arkansas for example has pretty good starters. The problem is once some players get injured, many times they have garbage backups. K J Jefferson is a perfect example at QB. When he got hurt, the QB wasn't even HS quality. Compare to LSU when Daniels was backed up by Nussmeier, and this year I expect a competent backup to emerge to GN.

Texas IMO can survive injuries for example a lot better than Oklahoma can.
