Maybe not a news flash, but today's article just reaffirms what a class guy Charles Scott is. One year ago at this time he was viewed as one of the best running backs in the nation. Keiland now has a grip on the #1 spot. Instead of sulking about getting far fewer carries, he encourages and embraces the role of fullback in order to help the team. Charles Scott deserves HUGE props.

Staying on the field is also possible because Scott has willingly stepped into the fullback spot. During the win over Vanderbilt, Scott went to Miles and urged him to keep running the scheme with him and Williams together.

He should be #18 IMO.

Agree. Putting team first as he is doing this year could hurt his draft status

I disagree with this statement. I don't think he was ever going higher than 3rd Round anyway. If he proves effective as a lead blocker this year, he will have proven he can play both RB positions (even more so if he can get some receptions from the Fullback position). I think this move will work out for all involved ... Scott, Williams and LSU.

I would too. It sure beats standing on the sidelines while we run a one back set with KW or 5 WR set.

Yes, that's been apparent for quite some time. People with this kind of attitude succeed in life, and I expect Scott will do well whether it's in the NFL or some other career. He represents himself and the program with lots of class. I feel pretty much the same way about KW; he and Scott are two bright, talented and classy individuals.

Point I am making is Scott had 1174 rushing yards last year. There seems to be no way he duplicates or exceeds that total this year which will likely lower his draft status. He was projected to be a 1st round pick by many services before the season started. I commend him for being an unselfish team player and wish more Tigers had this attitude!!

He's a senior leader. I was impressed that he will be a blocker with no comment. He just wants to win, baby!

Remember the fullback wheel route that we used to run with Hester.
Would love to see that play with Scott.

Why? What on earth does yards gained in a college season have to do with draft status?

This will be a great thing imo. You know when you have two or more players that start workin together and big things start happening. This is the kind of thing that can really pull this team together. Maybe KW feels really confident with CS leading the way and sir Charles sees this. Props to the truck for doing this for the benefit of the team. I hope we start seeing more of this.

Actually, Charles Scott is more of a Duece McCallister 2.0.

I was referring to his anything for the team attitude, but hey if you want to make it a race thing go ahead.

KW should feel confident with CS leading the way ... it definitely will keep the defense guessing. With Dugas in the game, did anyone really think he would be getting the ball?
Also, with respect to Scott's attitude, he knows what KW has been through these past few years. He saw for himself how it feels to be productive and still not get playing time (i.e. Kentucky 2007). Kudos to him for going to Miles and offering to play FB while KW is at TB.

CS represents what is needed in college and pro sports. Putting the needs of the team ahead of personal needs is something that is rare in todays atheletes. You sir are the needle in the haystack and do LSU proud as a student athelete.
