Besides being a world-class receiver, I see Marshall as a wildcard in that he keeps the defense on their heels. Just when you think you have all the other WR's in check, he comes and bites you in the rear.

So important for him to come back at 100% and not just a decoy. Ditto for Clyde. Win...

rewatching early games, I had forgotten how much he was targeted early in the season. He got a ton of work before he got hurt.

Our offense is on a different level particularly in the red zone when he is in the game and healthy.

Yep. You can maybe cover Chase. You can maybe cover Marshall. You can maybe cover Jefferson. You can maybe cover Moss. You can maybe cover CEH.

But you can't cover them all at once on every play.


Dabo fricked.

This is just nuts, but it's true.

I agree. There is not a team in the country that has the talent to effectively guard our top 3 receivers. On every single play were are going to have AT LEAST one mismatch in our favor.

Give the devil his due. Dabo is a great coach. But even Dabo is limited to 11. What can he possibly do to break it up, short of sneaking in a 12th?

It's part of what makes Joe so effective under pressure. It's ridiculous enough to try to guard against Chase, Jefferson, Marshall in general. Throw in the fact that you are taking guys out of coverage to bring pressure and one of them will get open. Now throw in Moss and CEH as safety valves. Someone WILL be open.

And then, when you want to get silly, Brady has run out 5 wide packages with Chase, Marshall, Jefferson, McMath and Clyde/Moss leaving 2 of those to be covered by a LB or Safety.

It really is just nuts.

Ya'll realize that prior to this year LSU's single season receiving record was 12 TDs by Dwayne Bowe. And we have TWO receivers at 18. EIGHTEEN. Oh and our 3rd WR who missed a ton of action is just sitting at 12, the former record. That's fricking nuts

Add in Moss and CEH and you have 5 guys that you can do anything with and can run or pass on every play. Then, Joe can run too. It’s impossible to cover them all.

Marshall has recorded the quietest 12 TD season ever. Only three WRs in LSU history have reached or passed that mark. Just so happens that of those three WRs, two happen to share the field with him. It's hard to wrap my mind around this:

1. Ja'Marr Chase - 18 TDs (2019)
Justin Jefferson - 18 (2019)

2. Terrace Marshall - 12 (2019)
Dwayne Bowe - 12 (2006)

3. Wendell Davis - 11 (1986)
Devery Henderson - 11 (2003)
Brandon LaFell - 11 (2009)

4. Carlos Carson - 10 (1977)
Josh Reed - 10 (2000)
Michael Clayton - 10 (2003)
Jarvis Landry - 10 (2013)

Him being hurt is 100% the reason why Chase won the Biletnikoff
