If you want to go to the big ten again take Glen Mason. His agent is supposedly Nick's agent (Jimmy Sexton) and Mason has a contract extension sitting on his desk. Mason would win at LSU. He believes in a strong running game and he doesn't need a future NFL QB to win games. Give him the talent available in LA and the surrounding area he would win.
