Is it me or are we always young?

When were we a veteran team. It must have been within the last 4 years? Seems like we were young last year and this year. Will we be a veteran team next year?
Confused....Erk

It does seem like we are always "young". You never really hear that from the top teams like Alabama. It's just an excuse.

Tom, you're incorrect, as usual.

Last year we had more true/RS freshmen and sophomores than anyone in the country, and this year we have even more.
Not an excuse. Just reality.
By the way, you really are Lowcountry_Racontard, aren't you, "Ned". LOL.

Well at least you can admit you're wrong, Faddy. And yes,

when you don't have the depth of "elite" teams. when you don't sign 30 players and cut, and when you sign 12 players in any given year within a 4-year cycle, then you're going to be young. The numbers are plain to see.

That's what I thought. Or it's a veteran line with young DB's or some combination.
It seems with some of the lopsided victories against the weaker teams, sure it was nice to puff chests about breaking all of the O records. However, it was a huge missed chance to get more snaps to next year's crop.
It's really a depth issue I think.

When you upgrade talent you will start some more physically

talented players in front of veterens. It leads to mistakes early in the year, but adds needed experience. Alabama has no fall off from one string to the next so they literally aren't ever young. That's where we would like to get, but yeah, you do have years when you are young. Look at this years D-line and linebackers earlier in the year. They are not upper classmen and are young. You can call it an excuse, but it's a fact. We should be rotating in Frosh and Sophs. Not starting them.

Actually young claim works for every school. The main difference is if you are having to play the young. Last year Clemson only had 2 or 3 more players in the young category than USC. They were playing at Clemson and not so much at USC.
