Hinton's a well-regarded blogger, but perhaps this is a bit of an oopsie--Lyons isn't guaranteed to start. Maybe this is a good sign (what good depth we have!). Or maybe not.

that list was actually put together very well although I'd also throw in James Vaughters. I think he'll start in the middle next to Skov and that has to mean a lot considering Stanford might have the best group of LBs, even over Alabama.

Were others (than Lyons) on the list players with as limited playing experience so far?

My opinion is Lyons is brobdingnagian for Stanford for complementing the front seven. Talented athlete in the secondary. Hopefully Jordan Richards and Lyons move the team forward in the area of weakness on defense shown against Oregon and Ok St last year.

From the beginning of the article:

Quote:All players are second or third-year guys – no incoming freshmen or new transfers – set to start for the first time this year, or otherwise to contribute heavily after a redshirt year or a season (or two) as a backup. No one on the team was feted with awards or freshman All-America notices, and none has more than two career starts; the vast majority have never started. Because they weren't instant-impact stars, you won't find any of these guys near the top of the preseason position lists, but you should expect to be well-acquainted with all of them by this time next year.
