March 23, 2013 Mettenberger Shines in First Spring Scrimmage BATON ROUGE – Senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger connected on 20- of-30 passes for 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead LSU through its first scrimmage of the spring here Saturday in Tiger Stadium. Mettenberger looked to have command of the offense throughout the day and was nearly flawless during the two-minute drill portion of the scrimmage, leading the Tigers down the field for a touchdown as time expired. Mettenberger completed 6- of-8 passes, including a 35-yard TD strike to Jarvis Landry , during the two- minute drill. “(Mettenberger) made a couple of intuitive throws today,” Miles said. “He saw things very quickly and got the ball out of his hand. Guys anticipated the catch and down the field it went. He looked good and 20-of-30 to start is really nice. Two series were against the second team but the rest of the day was against the first team defense.” Landry led all receivers with 10 receptions for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the 35-yarder from Mettenberger during the two- minute drill portion of the scrimmage. Junior Odell Beckham caught six passes for 75 yards and Travin Dural had four receptions for 72 yards. Ego Ferguson had two sacks. “It was a productive outing,” LSU coach Les Miles said “I thought we played well on both sides of the ball. We tackled well and we had only one turnover on an interception that should have been caught. I saw only one missed tackle all day. We were certainly not perfect. Something we need to improve in is pre-snap penalties
I'm glad to see CLM acknowledge it as a problem. I've thought for a long time that we have gotten too many pre-snap penalties.
