re: Keon Coleman

LSU was also a Spread pass first team trying to do the “Joe Brady” Offense while Michigan state was a run first oriented team led by Kenneth Walker

So, you are saying that Bech was a better fit for that LSU offense than Coleman?

LSU averaged 1 more passing yard a game that MSU. That Michigan State team had Jayden Reed who had over 1,000 yards receiving that year. No one at LSU was close. MSU had 3 receivers with more receiving yards than any LSU receiver.

Coleman probably puts up similar numbers if he’s in LSU offense.

Remember we are discussing their freshman years. Bech was the leading receiver that year. So you are saying Coleman would have put up better numbers than Bech, Boutte, Jenkins, Palmer, Nabors, BTJ, Deion Smith and Devonta Lee? All of these players had more catches than Coleman. Coleman was 10th on MSU in receptions.

In the end, Coleman has had a better college career than Bech, but it isn't hard to see how Bech might have considered to be the proper choice for that offense.
