seriously? again. Name one LSU player who touched the ball in more ways than RS did in the last 10 years. They literally tried to give him the ball every way possible. QB? he sucked at practice and would've been a disaster (despite what some of you experts who've seen a recruiting video think). RB? Yeah, they gave him the ball 104 times when he was at best our 3rd best RB any given year (and that's being generous, he was more like our 5th best RB). WR? he had 58 catches over his career and a ton of drops. and, many
of his rushes came out of the WR position and putting him in motion. he got passed up by freshman after freshman his junior and senior year.

now, some idiots may think he didn't work hard at LSU. I never said that. by all accounts he seemed like a great Tiger who worked hard and did his best. His best was just 5th string at nearly every position they tried him at. Still, he got the opportunity to touch the ball. More so than most 3rd-4th-5th string players. and, then he started getting passed on the depth chart by better players.

Les Miles used RS in a ton of different ways. it just didn't work out.
