It's like you don't read your own board. "The next Adrian Peterson" was thrown around every hour on the hour.

The mass media threw that around for the past two years. LSU fans didn't invent it.

Also, LSU just happens to be insanely young, not terrible or lacking in talent.

LSU's offense starts a true freshman QB, a true freshman RB, two true freshman WRs with a sophomore.

The defense starts a true freshman and a true sophomore at DT, about to start a true sophomore at MLB, two true sophomores at CB and a true freshman now at nickle/rover.

Any program in the country would take any of those young guys. When you have the most guys from one school go pro early and the most guys from one school in the NFL, you eventually have a year where you start a ton of young players.
