Smith probably did a bad job recruiting for the 2013 class but that would affect on the field results more in 2015 and 2016 than in 2013. Not very many freshman usually start.

Except they did for us. Skipper, Collins, Kirkland, Brooks Ellis and Hunter Henry all were forced to start as freshmen. Having two true freshmen and a walk-on on the OL was difficult.

I keep repeating this but guys like Tyler Wilson, Chris Gragg, Cobi Hamilton and Knile Davis all left after 2012. Not sure why people think Petrino had so much talent stockpiled behind them.
