re: Boutte

Boutte has been checked out for over a year now.

Kayshon had 39 catches for 509 yards and 9 touchdowns in 6 games last year, then got injured and required 2 surgeries before he could return to the field after an 8 month absence.

I think Kelly gave him permission to miss tomorrow to avoid having his poison on the field.

No, Kelly gave him the game off because he just had his first child...? Why is this very, very simple fact being overanalyzed.

I think he gave him #7 to motivate him but that was a mistake but worth a try.

---

He was given #7 because he's the best player on the team. That's who gets #7.

He’s so talented but so immature but most of us were at that age.

People keep saying this without citing a single example of him being "immature."

Hope he matures and figures it out but don’t look for him to be much of a factor for LSU if at all.

Malik Nabors had a big game against Mississippi State because Kayshon was effectively doubled with a corner and safety over the top the entire game. JD's running tocuhdwon was availible because half the defense went with Kayshon on the play. Defenses can't bring Sefety's down often because you have to account for #7 on the deep shot, that was a contributing factor in Goodwin's TD run.

Just because Kayshon doesn't go for 10/130/2 scores every game doesn't mean he's not a factor. He's the most game planned against player on the entire team.
