    Huge blow for Ole Miss. Laurent and Hardy are players they are counting on to be key guys. Hardy may be the best DLineman in the conference.

    Critical Losses to to Injury:

    AU - losing CB Aairon Savage was a position that AU could not afford to incur a loss to a position that was thin before the season began

    UGA - losing OT Trinton Sturdivant for the season, one of UGA's best, and protector of Stafford's blind-side

    UF - losing all-SEC TE Cornelius Ingram was a severe blow to the Gator offense in both talent and leadership. CI skipped the NFL draft to remain for his Sr. season

    Ole Miss - losing all-SEC DE Greg Hardy, arguably the SEC's top DE and the SEC leader in Sacks last season, is a severe loss for a defense that was counting on their all-american candidate

    LSU - is it true y'all lost QB Jarrett Lee to a high ankle sprain for 6 weeks? Quarterback is the one position that LSU could ill afford injury due to the suspension of RP. Now Hatch will be the starter by default, correct?



    there are some major, high-profile contributors that are falling victim to the injury bug this season .......

    The SEC's top TWO defensive ends will be wearing purple and gold! :thumb:

    Jarrett Lee has a soft tissue injury and is reported to be in a day-to-day situation. He'll be fine by App St, and is still in contention for the starting job. RP, BTW, is way more than just suspended. He plays for Jacksonville State in Alabama now.

    The LT injury for Georgia is the most glaring.

    LSU will totally dominate the backup they will be using, thus causing Stafford headaches all game long.

    Advantage LSU.
