Ok State will also be seeing an SEC DL. Something they don't see vs the Baylors, Texas Techs, Iowa States, and Kansas' of the Big 12

That's a great question. In the end it's up to the home team's Athleitc Department. I can't think of any reason Bjork would OK it, so it makes me wonder how much if any say we had in it

I really am pulling for miss st. but I think the cowgirls win this one. Hope I'm wrong.

I heard he had a special edition of Call of Duty made to where all enemy combatants are Hugh Freeze. Naturally he slits all their throats.

Whether we are young or not, we are extremely inexperienced. There's no need in trying to deny that.
I realize we lost a ton of talent at CB -- and am not looking to diminish that fact at all. But let's look at the big picture here...
We're returning 3 of our 5 DB starters in nickel, which we'll use extensively against OK State. Then, Wells is above average as a hybrid/cover linebacker -- and McKinney has improved in that regard.
Point is, we've got some experience coming back. If we play inexperienced "talent" ahead of those veterans, it means we must feel pretty good about the young guys IMO. One thing we've done pretty well under this regime is getting a bunch of snaps for backups. The fact that most of us didn't really realize dropoffs when Calhoun and Love were in the game last year(other than the Love clusterfrick of a trip job at UK) tells me they did pretty well overall -- because they actually played in every game.
Jamerson Love has played in 25 games for us. Taveze Calhoun saw action in all 13 last year at CB. Those two combined for 47 tackles -- Banks and Slay combined for 96(granted tackles is a shitty way to define a DB, but I'm just trying to get an idea about the number of snaps they actually saw).
Jay Hughes saw action in all 13 last year at SS and took Broomfield's starting spot at the very end of his career, showing how high on him we are. Nickoe has started something like 36 games for us -- and if he's finally back to his freshman/soph form like has been reported, it should go a long way toward alleviating issues with the young cb's. Seemed to me Wilson's scheme just didn't work with Whitley for whatever reason. He was tremendous under Diaz as a freshman and looked great under Collins in the bowl game last year.
Then, you've got Redmond -- who is very talented but with zero game experience and Giles who got snaps in the first 3 games before his injury and subsequent medical redshirt last year and looked great in his snaps IMO. And then, you've got an elite JUCO DB in Cox -- who practiced every day in JUCO against two BCS receivers in Brassell and Corey Smith(the implication being that it "shouldn't" be as large of adjustment for him as it is for some).
Add to the fact that Collins is going to bring 5 practically every play(at least he did in the Gator Bowl), and I think we'll be OK at the DB spots. Will there be growing pains that manifest themselves in game 1? Absolutely. No doubt. I just don't think it'll be as pronounced as people are making it out to be.

Not a bad undercard for the main event to follow.
I'm not all that excited for Bama vs a Va Tech team who went 7-6 last year.
Yeah, I know. Kind of like Manny Pacquiao. Most of his opponents aren't much to get excited about, but Manny and Bama don't do undercards.

Great now poor people with basic TV can watch us get our arse kicked
