You have a good point there. I was originally going to say three years but knowing how everyone these days leaves for the NFL early. It was mostly to point out the wealth of talent we have on the teams

And I disagree with you on 2010. It wasn't on defense that caused us to lose games. I blame our offense. The only game our defense really got abused was against south Carolina (we got manhandled by them). The offense had 7 points against LSU again LSU through 3 quarters and had a total of 67 yards in the second half against auburn. That's why we lost those 2 games. I know our secondary gave up some big plays that year. But they had absolutely zero pass rush to help them (until the auburn game). Injuries to upshaw and dareus for most of the year put so much pressure on our secondary that year.

The south Carolina game yes blame the defense.

The Auburn game no. When you have 67 yards in a half that means you are basically going 3 and out every possession. And with Cam Newton on the other side of the field there is only so long before Auburn was going to score some points. Had the offense not quit the defense would have been fresh and we would have won.

Really had Mark Barron not been playing with a torn pectorial we would have won. He should have taken himself out of the game. Id say holding Cam Newton to 21 points (I know they scored 28 but the Barron play was a freebie they would not have normally got) was awesome by our defense and all the offense had to do was score 1 freakin touchdown in the second half and they couldnt get the job done.
