Just remember Bech outperformed Coleman his freshman year. Bech 21: 43 rec 489 yards 3 tds Coleman: 21: 7 rec 50 yds 1td.
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, Coleman probably puts up similar numbers if he’s in LSU offense.

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.

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.

wrong lol

LSU 34.1 passes per game

Michigan St 30.8 passes per game

LSU 34.2 carries per game

Michigan St 36.8 carries per game


The thing was, Bech was better than Koleman as freshman. Part of it could be due to basketball and part of it could be due to Bech being more polished.
