Yeah, it sucks. I would kill to have just one guy like Weatherspoon from Missouri. That guy was killing people last night.

in my opinion good linebackers are the leaders of the defense. clog the holes, drop back in pass, etc. we haven't had a great leader on defense since Dat. looking at some of the other schools, they have led the charge. USC with Cushing and Malaluaga (sp). Ohio State with Laurinitis. Heck, after Reynolds went down for OU, their defense greatly struggled

In the 80's we could have made a certain claim at the Title, but Penn State and Miami were much more Linebacker U than us, In My Opinion

Our run of LBs stopped when Davies went to nd. miami wasn't even in the picture of LBs back in the good old days.

So I guess names like Michael Barrow or Jessie Armstead were nobodies, back then?

Miami 1991 & 1992 Starting Linebackers
Michael Barrow (also started in 1990)
Jessie Armstead
Darrin Smith (also started in 1990)

Ray Lewis Started in 1993-1995

Bob Davie coached at A&M through 1993 and moved to Notre Dame in 1994, so all these nobodies were Miami Linebackers during Davie Era

We lost all (partial) rights to that title in '99 when PSU shut us out 0 to 24 in the Alamo Bowl.

punterU...that's funny! (and so true!)

Maybe we'll revert to kissing when we make a first down instead of scoring!

mac III has put more linebackers into the nfl than any active coach in the ncaa. I know this fact cause I lost a bet on it.

the dropoff at LB started around 2000, when the program starting having 3-year and 4-year starters that never got a whiff of the NFL. That was a bad sign.

Same thing happened in the secondary after 2002

I would have guessed that Paterno has put more LB's in the NFL that any active coach

how is that possible with the sheer amount of years paterno and bowden have?

I think our linebacker U days started with J. Holland and ended with Dat Ngyuen.

I believe RC once said that the easiest position for a talanted football player to start at as a freshman was linebacker. Had something to do with the fact that so much of linebacker play was instinctive and quick reaction. He used to recruit a lot of fast instintive highschool athelets and make backers out of them.
