Pocic is really athletic and will get some playing time this year under center for sure (and maybe move down the line later in his career), but he is not ready weight-wise to play G or T. He needs to put on some weight which will come in time.

Losing Wiliford will hurt from an experience standpoint. He was one that could probably fill in at every position. Early reports were that Vadal would replace him, but some young guys will have to ready now in case of injury

Man that's sad to hear. It may be time to hang it up. This is only a game not worth throwing away your whole life just to block somebody

depth chart will probably look like this:

LT- Collins, Washington
LG- Alexander, Fanika
C- Porter, Pocic
RG- Turner, Austin
RT- Hawkins, ?

early 'speculation' was that Vadal would replace him...Vadal made it through one practice

frick. I hope Josh is ok. You really hate hearing about incidents like this. Its time for him to step away from the game & think about his long term future. Finishing school would certainly be a good start. You just have to hope he doesn't develop the long term effects of post concussion syndrome early in life.

Vidal is our right tackle he's a tackle! Either Fanika moves over
Or rg turner moves over and Fanika moves up. I think I heard Fanika can only play on the right?

It's highly unlikely they would move last years 2nd team all freshman tackle to guard.

It's over for Willford it's very strange for an ol to get 2 major concussions! I wish him the best!

I appreciate this young man's hard work and efforts to play at LSU. But, for his health and future life, here's hoping he exits now with it intact.

There's just way too much concussion studies information coming out of the fight game and football,etc..in recent years to ignore it carelessly.

Why is that? Jerald Hawkins may be a better fit to protect Mett from the outside rush.

Hawkins will start at RT. Vadal will start at LG.

He has to be done right? It would be unsafe to let him back on the field. Poor guy.

Why do so many people want Hawkins to start?

He only weighs 301 that's actually light for sec play IMHO.
And he has no experience!

What's wrong with Fanika is he a bust?

I don't care if Williford starts or not, I more so care if his brain starts seeping out of his helmet mid season.

Me too. A whole lot of people thought he was a wasted scholarship when he signed.
