Who would be better?


How about LSU?

Honey badger
Shepard
Brad Wing
Hairston
Reid Ferguson
Landry(knock both your returners out)
Alleman
2nd Aussie kicker

I'll take that over any ST.

HB is elite
Wing is the only player ever to have a TD called back for taunting. He can kick with both feet. He talks trash. How many punters have you seen talk trash?

Landry seems to think your return team needs better ball security and more nap time.

We have the unquestionable best ST's.

Alleman was solid all year.

Quarterback
1) Arkansas(lost a lot of WRs)
2) Tennessee(coming off injury)
3) Alabama(McCarron looked good in National Championship)

Watch for: LSUs Zach Mettenberger to jump the list

Runningback
1) LSU; Ware, Ford, Blue, Hilliard, Magee, Hill
2) South Carolina(Lattimore can't finish a season)
3) Alabama/Georgia, Lacy is the go to guy now, can Crowell stay healthy.

Watch for: Arkansas; see how Knile Davis comes back from surgery.

Wide Receiver
1) Tennessee(how has Hunter recovered)
2) LSU; Shep, OBJ, Landry, Boone, Wright, and Avery
3) Arkansas(lost Wright, Childs, and Adams.. Cobi new go to guy)

Watch for: Arkansas. Reason same as above.

Tight End
1) Auburn
2) Arkansas
Really don't know TEs outside of Lutz and Gragg.

Watch for: Alabama. Likes check downs to TEs.

Offensive Line
1) Alabama, best interior lineman last year in Jones
2) LSU, talent is there.

Defensive End
1) LSU, Mingo and Montgomery return
2) South Carolina, Ingrams gone, can Clowney dominate without him.

Defensive Tackle
1) LSU, loaded talent
2) State

Linebackers
1) Alabama, big, fast, physical LBs
2) Georgia.. Jarvis Jones
3) LSU

Defensive Backs
1) LSU.. Tyrann Mathieu, Tharold Simon, Eric Reid
2) Georgia, lost Boykin
3) Alabama, lost a few key guys

Special Teams
1) LSU, Brad Wing punting with Tyrann covering, Hairston and Alleman as well.
2) Auburn, good return guys

No, it pretty unquestionable seeing how we abused both your and Arkansas's ST's

Your return team and Arkansas's return D.

Brad Wing


Steven Clark finished top 3 for the best punter award, while Wing was at home...

Hairston and Reid Ferguson


Who?

quote:

Landry(knock both your returners out)


We have hard hitters too...

Alleman


I mentioned him having the advantage in accuracy, while Parkey is pretty good at accuracy and badass at touchbacks.

I'll take Auburn's...

As a CB, yes. Not as a kick returner. Tre Mason was a better KR than him.

Cody Parkey = touchback machine and good kicker
Steven Clark = top 3 punter in the NCAA last year
Tre Mason = #15 kick returner

Two hits. Both fumbles

Then he close lined Dennis Johnson of Arkansas.

I don't think anyone even knows your punter's name. Wing is mentioned in UK, Australia, USA, and New Zealand.

He was consistently the better punter of the two.

LSU spec teams annihilated auburns last year. There is more to it than kickers and returners. Yall don't have eric reid, craig loston, jarvis landry, and mingo looking for heads to take off out there

Who gives a shite? That has nothing to do with who is the better punter. Which Clark is.

anyone know a site that tracks a punter's inside the 20 punts? I know that Steven Clark was phenomenal at pinning teams inside the ten and twenty yard line.

And next year, unless Parkey is kicking into a 30 MPH wind, they might as well just drop the ball on the 25 for the other team. He will kick it through the uprights laughing 75% of the time.
