With the "Saban Bowl" upon us, the hype is at an all time high. Part of that hype is that LSU has been winning with Saban's players. Check this out from The Advocate:
-Of the 123 players on LSU’s roster Monday, 30 were on the roster in 2004, Saban’s last season coaching the Tigers. Seventeen of the 30 were in the starting lineup Oct. 20 for LSU’s 30-24 victory against Auburn.
-Eleven of the top 15 tacklers this season are players Saban recruited.
On the other hand
-Of the 294 points the Tigers have scored, 240 came from players who signed or walked on with LSU after Saban left. (thats almost 82% of the points coming from NON-SABAN PLAYERS).
Seems to me that Saban is a helluva recruiter, but so far, Miles ain't so bad himself. Let's just home The Hat can keep this going (and get all these discipline problems taken care of - Odom and Perrilloux).
Thanks Advocate (the newspaper).
