    21 First time starters this year

    On football team. That's most in SEC and ninth most nationally. We may not be young, but we are inexperienced. Not an excuse, just interesting.

    For some reason, I'm doubting those numbers.

    Is that counting all 9 of Holloway's lives after getting killed running up the middle?

    Ross
    Desper
    Jefferson
    Adams
    Brown
    Green (started bowl game)

    Offense (10) - D Gray, Dear, Rankin, Story, Jenkins, Mixon, Jackson, Green, Williams, Fitzgerald
    Defense (11) - Gray, Ward, Dale, Thomas, Simmons, Jung, Durr, Peters, Rayford, Graham, McLaurin

    It ain't that hard to see.

    You are aware that we haven't started the same 22 guys every game?

    Most of those guys on defense weren't ready to start. Simmons and McLaurin seemed to be the only guys that might start on another SEC team.
