quote:

It feels natural," said Collins, a 6-feet-5, 310-pound junior who played left tackle in high school. His move back outside will be watched carefully by coaches during spring practice and is the key to coherence in the offensive line for 2013.

"I'm feeling lighter on my feet. The experience of playing every game last year helped me out last year. I know what to expect in an SEC game. I had a pretty good year. This year I'm showing another side of me."

Times Pic is in scramble mode and knows what sells sports sections in LA.

Smart move IMO.

Advocate needs to follow suit.

Was wondering why they didn't do this last year when Faulk went down, but this is good news.

It's funny you mention this because I just decided that the Times-Pic is covering LSU better than the Advocate, and having moved over to Ms., I have to work finding LSU news on sites to keep up. The T/P is better for me. I hope Collins is a beast back at LT. Geaux Tigers.

I did that to see how many sensitive Collins fans would spout off......you guys are funny.

I think the path is there for him. He obviously has the physical tools and I hope he lives up to the hype. It'd be nice to have a dominant LT again.

I do think last year was critical for him and could see him shine as a veteran now.

We'll see. Just be fair and realize he may not be an All-American yet.

Shhhhhh!!!! La'el is the golden child.......easier to pass the blame to Les even though he has quantum leaps more knowledge on HIS players' true abilities.

Glad killing one's career is a starting job at OG. Alan Faneca is still disappointing people.....
