then others are sucking wind.
As the OP suggested, LSU will be very solid. injuries definitely hurt last season.

I heard on the radio (post officiating meeting)that teams better watch out with defensive holding this next season by d-linemen. Officials will be calling it. Also, substituting after running plays to your side of the field and sending in new players with different packages, will be stopped by the officials to allow defensive substitutions - spread teams will be hurt by this i.e slowing the game down a bunch. Believe it or not Baylor is a master of the substitution issue. That sneaky Art Briles!

The defensive linemen holding happens on play such as pulling on running plays, one DT might grab a tackle and a pulling guard to allow the LB make the play. it is their way of slowing down effective running games and spread offenses.
It is hard to catch because of where the play occurs, but the officials are going to look specuifically for it.

Our starting DL and depth at DE is very good. My question is how will our 2nd line guys at DT produce. I just don't know about Downs and Logan at DT, I'm very comfortable with Freak and Brockers starting (Freak may not start initially but he will soon into the season IMO). Those 2 will be a force inside.
