Who you think has more football talent: Louisiana or Utah?

Utah, Utah State, & BYU compete partly because many of their players are Mormon, who do their 2 years of mission work first. So their players often have 2 years more physical and mental maturity.

But we have more raw talent in Louisiana.

And here's another thing, what I keep stressing, which is what Coach Dez is stressing: focus on the personnel, they'll get it done.

A lot of talent comes out of homes where there haven't been many options, and where Mama wants her son to get an education, have a strong role model, and succeed in life after football.

Texas comes waving stacks of dollar bills under the kids' noses. That will buy a lot of talent.

But it won't buy character. In fact, it will often drive character away.

Those players' Mamas want somebody they can trust to get their young men through college, and then beyond.

I think we'll be OK with Dez.
