    I really hate to do this and I'm going to go find some cover from the hand grenades that are sure to follow, buuuuuuuuuuut:

    How should LSU! use Shepard next year? Holding a clipboard on the sidelines while he takes his redshirt year.

    I agree Harvard transferring back to the Crimson put a kink in my scenario but I still think the best thing for Shep and :lsup: is to give him a year to learn the system, adjust to the speed and just generally get his college feet under him.

    Ok, be gentle, please. :hihi::hihi::hihi:

    He's far to talented to keep off the field. I think we should expect him to at least get a handful of touches per game his freshman year. A minimum of 5 sounds about right to me. Between him being lined up at QB and receiver.

    He will throw passes to himself for 300+ yards.

    It will become a real number once Shepard steps on the field for the first time. :lol: :hihi:

    I think he should RS and take the year to learn then in 2010 he'll break out from the start.

    There is no point in redshirting a player that's likely to go to the NFL in three years, it's a waste. If Jefferson claims the starting QB role then I say put Randle and LaFell at wideout, put Sheppard in the slot and run "homie go long" 2 or 3 times a half.
