In any given year, Tech will have 2-4 players that could get playing time at LSU. As D65 stated, this is best reflected in the number of players who make NFL rosters.

I like to redirect the conversation.
Me, "How do you like your handicapped parking placard?"
Tigger fan, "What are you talking about?"
Me, "Oh, I'm sorry. You know, your diploma."
Usually they don't get the joke and just walk away.

Dixon would not have been run down on that play. Dixon has added a gear or two in his time here. Would like to see Henderson do the same, if possible to become universe or solar system class speed.

easy way to tell difference --walmart crowd wear LSU hats and Cowboy shirts. Real students wear LSU hats, Saints shirts.
I usually ask them when they graduated from LSU and get the "Oh, I didn't graduate from LSU but I have been a fan for......" blah blah response. I usually close with "typical LSU side-walk alum."
Talent differential isn't even close, sans maybe Dixon. Competitive spirit and want-to are probably equal, but by the numbers its almost like when people said "could Alabama beat a pro team?" It's cute to talk about, but everybody knows the answer...hell no.
I disagree with the Saints shirts.
They don't sell them at Walmart soo....
Still funny though.
One difference is that Tech recruits student athletes. LSU recruits from Angola State Penitentiary.
Well it is near by.
I thought Henderson turned off the afterburners at about the 5 yard line like he thought he wasn't going to be caught before crossing the goal line. Perhaps he was winded, felt a twinge in his hammie, or just needed more time to think about his end zone celebration - but he seemed to slow down to me.
Here's a broad, generalized position based only my own observation ...
Tech's first string, in most years, can hold their own with most $ec or Big12 teams for about 2.5 quarters of football. Often about midway through the third quarter, the performance of Tech's starters will begin to succumb to the accumulated affects of fatigue and minor injuries, while their opponent remains fresh by means of frequent subbing. (This is typically the point at which a one or two score contest turns into a rout.)
I really believe that Tech's top players, in most years, play on largely the same level as any P5 school, save for perhaps the top 10 or 15 programs in a given year. The difference between Tech's talent and that of most P5s is found not amongst the best players but in the backups.
I think the DB took a great angle and add to the fact that Henderson braced to hold the ball add up to how he was caught. I had a great seat at the game and had a great look at the end of the play. Had a great time at the game.
Except for the20%+ that don't go to class.
