the effort is there, so I don't think it's heart or effort. But they do need to step it up a notch and get someone to kind of push them on the field with their play and maybe a vocal leader as well.
We have a lot of freshmen and sophomore that we are relying on to make plays for us. Like Tyler Russell. We should not have to count on him so much at this point in his career. You look at the o-line, Gabe Jackson and Tobias Smith play a lot, and Quentin Saulsberry should not have allowed those two to beat him out. And then JC Brignone has played horribly this year. He and Sherrod are the seniors. The center needs to be the leader. You look at the skill guys that we count on- Chad Bumphis, Arceto Clark, LaDarius Perkins, and Brandon Heavens are all freshmen or sophomores. Look at the defense- Fletcher Cox and Josh Boyd are sophomores, Cameron Lawrence is having to play a lot at LB, and then we have Whitley, Broomfield, and Banks who are all sophomores or younger in our secondary.
I would be willing to bet that we play more freshmen and sophomores than anyone else in the SEC. But what has to happen is the few seniors that we have- the KJ Wright's and Chris White's, and the veterans like Relf, and Marcus Green when he is healthy and Chales Mitchell HAVE to step up and lead these guys. I have not seen that this year.
