Russell Shepard, LSU

He would have scored 25 TDs a year playing QB at Michigan or Oregon.


People keep saying this, however Chip Kelly's first season at Oregon was Shep's freshman year at LSU. How was he supposed to envision the type of offense that Oregon has become so famous for?

He would have done well with the way Oregon used their QBs even before Chip Kelly's offense. But there is a degree of luck involved.

Robert Lane went to Ole Miss because:

1) he was scared to compete with Matt Flynn and Jamarcus Russell

2) he thought he was going to be Cutcliffe's next Manning

Instead he would up being Orgeron's slow TE.

Kelly had already been running the Oregon offense as OC for two years when Shep started college.
