DeBoer said in the off-season we lost bad players and gained better ones.

Russaw is a bum, classic looks like Tarzan plays like jane.

Smith got fat as frick from seeing him on TV. Who would have guessed? They are just lucky he hasn't started getting dumbass personal fouls yet.

Earl Little is another Bama reject they are paying. How did he do?

Anyone who watches Green and Thompkins on the interior DL and doesnt understand that we upgraded significantly from last year doesn't know football.

Little played well, but he is the poster child for what is wrong in CFB.

A year at Bama, a year at FSU, now he’s at tOSU.

Not to mention an upgrade in size along the DL. Thompkins, Green, and Woodson are money well spent.

I watched these guys pretty closely.

Earl Little is definitely a big time player. He’ll be a Friday draft selection.

James Smith is an adequate rotational piece.

Russaw was definitely featured by Patricia in this game, but he didn’t do much. Texas tackles neutralized him.

Freshman Khari Wilder is the next one to watch on that Ohio State d line

Because Bama has been soft a while. Pacific Northwest style just doesn’t work in the Deep South.

He's a personal foul/targeting penalty waiting to happen.

Im holding a grudge because I remember his name? I just asked how he played.

Isnt this a thread about former Bama defensive players for OSU?

Little never started for BAMA. Hot-headed, penalty machine.

Nick Saban.


As great of a coach that he was, Saban recruited many of sorry arse human beings that couldn’t cope off the field. Rolando McClain just to mention a few.
