    If you could chose only one of them to have stayed for their senior year, in light of the way the season has played out so far, who would you pick ?

    I'd pick Marquise. We need more turnovers and I believe he would have delivered a few by now. His pressure on the QB would have relieved some of he pressure on our CBs.

    Its close of those two, but Hill wins it for his pass deflections. My God did he deflect some passes, especially against Georgia?

    Michael Clayton is the consummate professional/great character/great person/great football player. A player who comes along once in a lifetime if you're lucky.

    He is already the leader of the Bucs. We will never realize just how much we miss everything he did for LSU.

    of those 2: I'd say Mike Clayton. Our D is still top 10 this year. But because we were #1 in D last year the drop off seems worse.

    That's a very tough question. Hill was undoubtedly key to our defense's success and we could certainly use him this year. Clayton ran perfect routes and knew how to get open. Clayton also had some of the surest hands around. I would have to go with Hill on this one, but not by much. Defense wins championships and Hill would only enhance ours.

    Clayton helps in every aspect of the game. He had sure hands, was moeny on 3rd down, was a downfield threat, was an excellent downfield blocker, could play awesome special teams, and was a leader for the offense. If he stayed for his senior year then I believe he would've been the best player in college football this year (not neccasarily stats-wise though).
