New year, same position battle

From the battles of Rohan Davey and Josh Booty early in the Saban era to last year’s two-man shuffle between JaMarcus Russell and Marcus Randall, quarterback is a position that has been rarely settled at LSU.

Randall is gone, but the quarterback derby continues into the 2005 season. Russell returns with fellow redshirt sophomore Matt Flynn and Gatorade High School National Player of the Year Ryan Perrilloux to compete for the top spot this season.

“I think JaMarcus [Russell] has a very talented arm, and he’s getting more comfortable with the system,” Head Coach Les Miles said. “Matt Flynn can throw the football well and maybe is a little better at scrambling in the pocket, and the young quarterback we have [Ryan Perrilloux] has all the talent also.”

Although Miles is not ready to name a starter, he has made it clear what needs to be done to win the position.
