At quarterback, Miles said the Tigers, "could be further along." But by allowing, "the young guys," -- Shepard and Garrett -- extensive snaps, the team has cut the time available to returning sophomore signal-caller Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee -- "the old guys," in Miles' words.

"But both Jefferson and Lee look like they've been in the system, and they look like they're ready to play, " he noted. "Both of the young guys are still a ways away, though both of the young guys made plays today, some nice throws and some nice runs."

All of which may accelerate, Miles hinted, Shepard moving toward a role many expect him to assume -- that of the electrifying playmaker. Shepard's future at LSU, particularly if wide receiver/sprinter Trindon Holliday pursues a pro career in track, may lie in the receiving corps, and as a player who takes snaps in a shotgun formation and creates space.
