LSU Les Miles on his cornerbacks for the 2010 season, remember what he said last season

"In my opinion, arguably it will be the finest corner tandem in the conference," Miles said at the SEC Media Days last month. He should be at least half right as junior cornerback Patrick Peterson is a returning as a first-team All-SEC performer last season by ESPN and a second-team All-American by The Sporting News as well as a first-team preseason All-SEC choice. Peterson also may be a high first-round pick in the NFL Draft if he leaves LSU a year early. The other cornerback, meanwhile, has never started a game and played only sparingly in seven games a season ago behind starting cornerback Chris Hawkins, who was a senior in 2009. He is Morris Claiborne, a sophomore from Fair Park High School, but he is apparently talented beyond his snaps."He had a great spring," Miles said. "And he's very athletic and enjoys the fact that Patrick Peterson is right beside him. That's a great learning tool. And he's got ball skills and reaction, and he's just very capable as well."

P.S. Miles last year's quote; The best one he'd ever had at LSU. That did not exactly work out as the Tigers' line was at its worst since the late 1990s, finishing last in the Southeastern Conference and 105th in the nation out of 120 upper division schools with 37 sacks allowed and 11th in the SEC and 90th nationally in rushing offense with 122.7 yards a game.
