re: LSU projected starting DT Quentin Thomas out for season

Hate it for the guy. I'm sure he busted his arse all off season and have it taken away this close to kickoff must be tough.

Yep...

And he's a great teammate as well. Redshirted early on, and then was buried on the depth chart the last few seasons. Worked his arse off and kept improving each year. Got a little PT last year, but was primed for a breakout year this season. Our strength and conditioning coach, Moffitt, has said QT will make a pretty penny in the NFL... Really athletic and built like a brick house.... And now he's done before the season started. Sucks.

I'm most worried about replacing his leadership and understanding of the D. We already had a young DL going into this season, now we lost QT and get that much younger. Out young guys are gonna have to grow up very very fast. I like our young guys as well, especially Bain. I picked him to be our break out player on D this season all hopefully I'll be right!

Here's to a speedy recovery for QT
