Does anyone know what happens to our players that we never seem to have many juniors and seniors on the team? Do they all graduate in two years or what?

Quick check and 2 defensive and 4 offensive starters are under 20. So 6 out of 22, not counting our kickers who are also not teenagers.

We may be younger than many teams, but our young players don't seem to be developing. Look at LSU, they are playing quite a few younger players, but they have definitely improved during the season... we definitely have not shown improvement... Young or not, you have to show progress and we havent

Since OM whipped our ass with us having homefield advantage and they only have a 0.25 lead over us in this stat you are touting, then we should have no problem whipping LSU on our home field, especially since Sumlin gets paid more than Miles and Freeze. Do you want to give me LSU +15?

Brakeman always comes on threads like these trying to support the youth argument and repeatedly gets shut down. Every. Time.

It's not the coaching staffs fault players smoke pot and park in handicap spots when they're not under his watch

YOUNG MY @SS! I don't care how young they are, these "young ones" are making highschool second stringer mistakes. If they palyed hard and lost that's one thing, however, they let receivers get behind them, they are faked out of their jock, laziness, instead of tackling and wrapping up a ball carried they slap at him with one hand, our receiver can't catch a damned football, again laziness, one interception after another, isn't this "trilling".

OH???!!! Do a drug test and can their butts, yes a coach can do something about this. Parking a handicap spot is parking and securities area, however, if they would report this to Sumlin and he would run their butts off he can stop this. I'm sick and EFFING tired of excuses, they are like A..holes, everyone's got one!

When we come out of denial....or find another excuse. This is no excuse for 59-0. Gutless!

When we win. It's a loser's mentality to blame being young for your losses. Winners win losers look for excuses.

The Ags have been legitimately the youngest team in the SEC West by experience both this year and last year. Eventually they'll be all juniors and seniors... unless they manage to get themselves dismissed for being stupid (which is what happened to 1/3 of the last three recruiting classes, per GBH (I think)).

When the % of Jrs and Srs on this team is as high as that of the teams we are playing.
