Fulton get's last laugh... MNC Ring

I'll never understand fans you think every player is making a mistake by not coming to USC. News flash - if he's buried on the depth chart there on the #1 defense, you think he'd be playing all game here on the #3 defense? Get real.

Montgomery started #99 DE

I didn't know Fulton had relatives on the board.

What you guys are failing to understand is that teams like Alabama don't rely on freshmen and sophomores to start. They stack talent and rely on guys like Fulton to play special teams while they wait their turn on the juniors and seniors ahead of them. That's why we are usually bottom off the pile on special team stats. Alabama only had 3 sophomores starting this year and all three were redshirt soph's. All other starters (and most 2nd teamers) where seniors and juniors. This is also why the Bama's and LSU's don't dominate the all freshmen teams. The players that do make the team are often times backups on those teams.

Will Fulton's play pickup? I don't have a clue...although he did play in most games, so that's a good sign. But to write him off because he's not already a starter is not understanding how much talent some of the elite teams have. I think this is a "problem" we may start seeing with our team as we redshirted a ton of guys that would have started for us in previous years.
