I will give you that Glenn was the best offensive lineman on the field for Georgia. However, I would not say that he was dominant. They had little success running behind anyone and he was beaten a few times by Mingo and #99 with speed and spin moves. I agree that he'd be a great pro guard. He moves really well for his size and can be dominant in the run game. I think he'd make a good G or RT in our system.Originally Posted by Dee Dub
Other players I liked in the game...
Lonegran the Center for LSU. He is a JR. He has plenty of size to play guard in the pros. In every LSU game I've seen, he dominates in the second half. He destroyed Geathers and Jenkins (the two 350 pound NTs for Georgia). IMHO, he was the best player on the field in the second half of the game.
Hurst and Hebert were also very impressive on the LSU line.
Claiborne is a great talent. He got fooled badly on that double move early, but other than that he was lights out. I believe he'll be a top 15 pick.
Orson Charles is a nice H-back type or move TE. He doesn't really fit the Steelers mold, but he is really quick and has great hands.
The young RB 27 (Hilliard?) for LSU was a load to bring down and showed nice receiving skills. He'll be one to watch in the future.
The entire LSU d-line. They are the most dominant group in college football. And, most of them are freshman and sophomores.
Who I didn't like....
Brandon Boykin. This kid is poison. His effort is really weak as an open field tackler. He is often hesitant to take on ball carriers. Not a Steeler type in any way. He has the talent to be a good CB and return guy, but he'll give up as many big plays as he makes.
Jenkins (#6 for Georgia). He is a Jr 3-4 350 pound NT (also plays some DE). He has talent and is a good interior pocket collapsed on pass plays. But, he was totally overmatched by Lonegran and Hebert. They pushed him around all night. He couldn't hold up against the double team and had trouble finding the ball when he was single blocked. Geathers (the other 350 pound NT for Georgia) played a little better but got way fewer reps.
