LSU football preview from ESPN / Blue Ribbon

TH didn't make the Olympic team, so no worries there.

 

*shakes fist*

Darn you beat me to it! I hate getting asked questions while at work. It takes away from me being able to post here.

 

Here's what surprised me in the article:

"Andrew Hatch and Jarrett Lee split most of the reps in the spring, and I thought they both did a pretty good job. They both completed about 63 percent of their passes and didn't turn the ball over much. They actually had a higher percentage of completion than Matt did last spring. Both of them had about eight interceptions each in all the scrimmages and drills we did, and that's pretty close to where Matt was."

"Terrance Toliver will eventually be a superstar," Crowton said. "He's tall, he's easy to find, he runs well, he's got excellent hands and he's got good range. As he learns the offense, he's getting more comfortable with what we're doing. That will give us three really solid, talented guys."

"Jai Eugene came out of the spring No. 1, but he's being pushed pretty hard. We really liked the progress of Ron Brooks and Phelon Jones, but yet they're still freshmen, so they haven't played a snap in Tiger Stadium yet."

 

Doesn't surprise me, Flynn was never a high % guy.

What surprises you? that we only have three really solid guys? or that Tolliver is one of them?

Scary thought. Hopefully Eugene has improved tremendously from his spot duty flops last season and the rest of the guys are coming along nicely.

 

Outstanding article. Very in depth. Thanks for the link.

 

Both. Toliver was running way down on the depth chart in the Spring because he's had so much trouble learning the plays, and I'd hope we would consider the Mitchells solid.

 

I was a little surprised that the Mitchells were not included, but you can see the superstar waiting to come out in Toliver. Whether he knows the plays or not he could be good enough the easily beat his man and make something happen. Of course knowing the plays would be better.

 

LOL Geaux Tigers,
