I have a feeling that Dupre wont be third string.

Fans often underestimate the time it takes to learn a college scheme. Also, we underestimate how important that is. So you have people saying they don't care if Beckwith (for example) doesn't know the schemes. Play him because he's better. That just won't work. If Dupre can learn fast he can start. But he has to learn it, and he has to block. Coming from Curtis that should not be a problem.

Did you watch the spring game?

Spring game is meaningless. Jennings might have performed better than Harris, and you wouldn't even be aware of it. What if AJ made great reads and his WRs didn't? What if BH made terrible reads but salvaged plays with his feet? If that's the case the coaches are smart enough to start AJ. The point is, we just don't know who played better in the spring game. Happily, the coaches do.

I wish every rantard would read this post and really try to understand it. One of the best posts I've read on the rant.

LSU's D heavily relies
on two shut down corners, when we have had that are D has been unbelievable! That is when chavis can come with all those blitz packages he has. With these two corners we have are D will be scary good! Can't wait for the fall!

No way in hell CLM or CCC will start a true Freshman at QB against Wisc in Houston.

This isn't just a true freshman though.. This Harris kid might be quite different...

We all have eyes, Jennings was terrible. I'm not sure if it was nerves or what, but he was really awful.

---

I was as impressed with anyone with the drive he put together against Arky, however, the difference, in natural ability, between he and Harris is obvious. Unless Jennings has an understanding of the playbook that Harris just can't grab, I don't see him making it more than 3 games as the starter.

Hold up is TQ 6'2? LSU has him listed at 6ft 190. So probably 5'11.
