Peterson on offense = bad idea

Why risk it? The offense has enough trouble getting the ball to its supposed playmakers. It just adds plays for Peterson and increases the likelihood of injury or fatigue.

Agreed!!
We have playmakers on offense everywhere except freakin QB!!
If we can't or don't know how to get the ball to the playmakers we already have why waste PP on offense??

I would hope that if we were thinking of putting him in the Wildcat, Crowton/Miles would wake up and just let Russell Shepard do it.

I agree with this. You have an athlete on offense more than capable to run the Wildcat.

This is why it puzzles me that the coaches are even considering PP on offense. We have the #1 rated dual threat QB when he came out of high school.

hard to get the ball to him?
a direct snap will take care of that...

Well, I've certainly never heard this before.

PP wants to be Trey Burton

You realize there's been 30 threads about this?

It's really a shame when PP has an opportunity to continue a special season only for it to be in jeapordy b/c dumbass has a brain fart and decides to let him play on offense.
This also means he will cramp up and miss snaps on defense/possibly kick returns. Way to go coach....find another way to take points off the board. At this rate, the defense will need to pitch shut outs in order for us to get the W.

It's college football and you play to win. Quit being pussies people.

well if that's the case and we're willing to sacrifice one of the best DBs in the country...let PP take the snaps and bench Jefferson. Hard to believe he couldn't do better.

He's in no more danger of being hurt taking direct snaps than returning kicks!
Fact: LSU needs another wrinkle to a UF, Bama, Auburn. Our luck of winning games with 100 yards passing and plain vanilla running is about to come to an end.

It seems PP's mentality is Heisman or bust.
This is probably something that PP or the team brought to the coaches and not the other way around.
Playing offense gives him one more step toward Heisman contention.

Here is how I'd use him.
Put him in the wildcat. Put Shep in motion, fake the handoff, and then run the option to the other (wide) side of the field.
If I were Crowton I'd use Shep a lot like Payton uses Bush. You have to account for him. So make the defense do that and then run away from it. Then switch it up and give Shep the ball. It's not rocket science.

people act like he's going to get 20 carries or something 
give him the ball in the redzone on first and second down a couple times, especially at the goaline.
offensives, special teams, and defensive touchdowns for peterson = heisman

It doesn't matter where he plays, he is the best player on the team with Jasper! Why not give him a shot? I would rather it be RS in the wild tiger but who knows what Les will do!

i agree, let's just break in someone else who doesn't know the plays. we have plenty of playmakers already and we need to learn how to get them the ball. the risk of injury is just too great.
