I'd never knock Cam, but the QB situation sure looks shaky at best. Trust in Cam and all will be right...right??? lol Either way I can't wait for fall. I'll wrap my whole body in this http://www.signatureathletictape.com/product/louisiana-state-university/ HAHAHAHA! Think I'm kidding? See ya in the Fall...Tigers!!!
In the 111 years prior to Les Miles arrival, LSU had double digit wins just 7 times. Les has done it 7 times in 9 years. No LSU head coach has had back-to-back double digit seasons before Les.
Good stat… Do you happen to recall what year the added game each season went into effect? I want to say it started in the Saban Era or right before.
2006 was the first year with a 12 game schedule. Les had one year under the old system and the rest of his tenure was the new one.
LSU embraces playing freshmen By David Ching | May 28, 2014 1:00:50 PM PDT BATON ROUGE, La. -- Les Miles has never been afraid to play a true freshman -- LSU’s sports information department reports that the Tigers have played 87 first-year freshmen in Miles’ nine seasons -- but it has become one of the program’s trademarks only in recent years. The Tigers ranked among the nation’s top-five programs at playing freshmen in each of the last two seasons -- 14 freshmen in 2013 (third) and 15 in 2012 (fifth) -- and Miles has all but guaranteed at least 15 more will see the field this fall once a star-studded recruiting class arrives on campus. It has quickly become a calling card for Miles’ staff on the recruiting trail. Tyrann Mathieu is one of many LSU players in recent years who've had a chance to contribute as true freshmen. “I think kids like that about LSU,” offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. “They like our style, they like Coach Miles’ philosophy that young guys are going to play early, which we do. I think we’ve averaged maybe ... at least 15 freshmen a year playing. And so all that plays into recruiting. “You can’t guarantee a guy he’s going to play, but if he knows he’s given the opportunity and he’s got confidence in his ability, the track record speaks for itself. Come in and help us win and here’s the key thing, I think, that I’ve learned since being here is our veteran players -- our juniors and sophomores and redshirt sophomores and so forth -- they expect young guys to come help them play. They’re not afraid of young guys coming in and playing with them.” Considering its recent history at the position group, it should come as no surprise that LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson traces the development of this trend back to the arrival of key players in the secondary. The wheels were set in motion when cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Morris Claiborne contributed as true freshmen in 2008 and 2009, respectively, but the freshman movement truly took off with the 2010 class that featured Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid and Tharold Simon. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=ncfnation&id=95320&src=desktop
