Both are on TV in Los Angeles. Any idea why JR is not playing in first Q? Hester playing like he did at LSU.

starters don't typically play much in the last preseason game

Its preseason...... Ummmmm probably because its a risk to play starters and you sure dot want them to get hurt in the last preseason game.

I would go with this

Hopefully it is a game that can help Hester out.

good news on hester -thanks. he's still a beast!

Kiffin probably wasn't far from wrong as he needs to get rid of jitters

The 4th game, no starters see any time unless they've been hurt and haven't seen any action thus far.

Russell is a starter and starters don't play the last game of preseason. Hester is behind this unknown non-LSU alum named LaDainian Tomlinson, which is why he's playing early.

The NFL is actually a pretty neat league. You should give it a whirl.
