He is a big guy (met him at the Buckeye football camp(highschool) when he was visiting, after he had already commited.) hes a great guy as well, but man the guy is just intimidating when he comes up to you, can only wonder what it would be like to line up against him. Glad OSU won't have to.

Oops. Just to clarify, this was the ESPN stats page, where they only go 2 deep, that I used.

That was actually Mark Richt's lone point when discussing LSU v. OSU with Colin Cowherd last week. Something like, "One thing you notice when you step on the field with them... they are BIIIG."

Same here. If you go to the 2 deep, there's a link that says Team Statistics. That takes you to everyone.:oh:

Inside of two weeks now. Will be interesting to see if the Buckeyes can stop Hester. I saw 4 or 5 LSU games and their OLine constantly seemed to seal off just enough between guard and center and he'd get passed LB's and into the secondary.

Just wondered...which 4 or 5 games did you see (tv or in person)...I think the opponent (tOSU) will make a difference in stopping Hester:osu:

I also recall that Richt's team beat "BIIIG"

Dec. 3, 2005 Atlanta, Ga. Georgia 34, LSU 14 (SEC Championship)

UGA was the better team that year. 2005 was a devastating year for LSU football due to the hurricanes. LSU had to struggle past Ark the week before to get to the championship after loosing 1 home game and playing 8 weeks straight with no bye. I remember leaving the stadium with friends predicting LSU would loose the next week. That is the year LSU took 30 days off and preceded to whip Miami's ass on the field and in the tunnels after the Peach bowl game.

The Buckeyes have the best defense they will have seen this year. I saw their games with KY, MS, Va Tech, AR, FL, TN, AL (okay 7)--all on tv. Va Tech plays defense, but I think that game was an aberration where the opposition was simply ill-prepared, and the next best D on their schedule might be Auburn. In fact, with LSU's and FL's defenses victimized by injuries, Auburn may well have been the one SEC team with a strong defense. After seeing LSU's D in games like the Bama game, where they gave up 27 points, it's surprising they are still ranked 3rd in total defense. So with Dorsey healthy, we will likely see the top 2 defenses on the field.

The interesting aspect for me: Since Hester has been effective up the middle all season, and that's the same route Juice took to beat the Buckeyes, will they close that hole against LSU. It will be nice to see the contrast in effectiveness between SEC defenses and Ohio State's.

Yep, I thought it was a bit lame for him to ignore OSU's collective size, while heaping praise on LSU for their size. Earth to Coach Richt: LSU and OSU are both pretty much in the large range when considering players' size. I realize he's an SEC coach but he should have known he was on a slippery slope if he was trying to make a point. Judging from their rosters, the two teams look evenly matched size-wise. Wouldn't a Big10 coach have been more diplomatic? (Of course I could care less what Richt said...but it's noteworthy.)

Hey Richt took a lot of heat for his lobbying for UGA over LSU. He attempted to devalue the SEC championship and conference game. THAT IS A NO NO!!!
Really, UGA has been undersized team for years. LSU looks big to them because most of our guys need to wear jocks to protect their players... Dude is an A-HOLE...
