    Wow. That's saying something.

    Wonder if we'll see anything revealing at the spring game.

    Tuberville, in his role as analyst, stated on several occasions that Shepard, at quarterback, would give SEC opponents fits.

    Excellent read in the thread below, the "chat" section, you have to click on it.

    Most I've seen written about spring practice.

    He said Chad Jones looks like the best DB out there, and the defensive players seem to like Chavis. Concern is the d-line.

    I heard he struggled with his passes the 1st few practices but then a change was made to his release and he has looked better throwing the ball.

    He will need time to develop as a QB and we have the time to give him with JJ coming into his own and the others waiting in the wings. While we are waiting I do not mind seeing him in other positions and designed QB plays.

    Thats a great chat, excellent information.

    Why arent we seeing any pictures and video even from LSUSPORTS.net? I wish they would put up some teasers for the hungry fans.

    Possibly quite true, but he still has his freshman mistakes ahead of him. I'd like to see him worked into the rotation gradually, though, and not thrown to the wolves.

    Thought that was Francois? I don't think they do offensive and defensive MVP's for the title game. Doesn't take away from the good showing Flynn had his senior year...just saying.

    yeah, they do offensive and defensive MVPs for that game.
    Flynn on Offense
    Francois on Defense

    I am trying to picture the confusion LBs and DBs will feel when they look across the ball and see JJ at QB, Scott at FB, Williams/Murphy/Ridley/Ford/Holliday at RB, LaFell/Toliver/Molton at WR, Dickson at TE, and Shepard in motion.



    Nightmare. :milesmic:




    And isn't there some kid named Randle that might show up next fall too? :wave:
