Nope , no growing pains. I'm tired of the youth excuse. No excuses anymore, other big name schools have freshman playing at a very high level. It comes down to coaching, and of course freakish athletic ability, which we have all over the place with the young guns we have right now
Please, note me one other program in the nation that has 5-6 freshman/redshirt freshman occuping spots in the front 7 more times than not. Sure, they have some freshman, but we're putting a lot of them out there, at once, on numerous occasions.
Wasn't the stat today that our 2 deep on defense is almost 50% freshmen and sophomores?
