And B.J. Upton is going to break DiMaggio's hitting streak.

Don't know if I'd say greatest player in SEC history, but one of the greatest defenders in SEC history for sure. Glad to see it finally happen; it was long overdue...
I like Lawson...he's not a thug and I think he'll be a great pass rusher the next couple of years...but in this era of football, I don't see him (or any one else in the near future) getting any where near 27 sacks in a single season nor 52 for a career...in the last 5 years, the highest sack total in a season has been 17 (Von Miller)...I think the game has changed where 20+ sack seasons will be very few and far between...
I think the 52 for a career will eventually be surpassed at some point...it's already been tied (Bruschi)...but I think it'll take a player that plays all 4 years. That's the reason I don't think Lawson will surpass it...I don't see him staying 3 more years...there's a premium on pass rushers in the NFL and if he continues to progress and puts up good sack numbers, he'll leave after his junior year...
