Former LSU quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. made his debut for East Mississippi Community College on Thursday night, leading his team to a 47-34 win over Jones County Junior College.

Scott reportedly threw for 535 yards with five touchdowns. Per The Meridian Star:

quote:
“You definitely have to get back in the groove of things since it’s been a while since I’ve played a football game live, and I’ve learned a lot of things on my journey to this field,” Scott Jr. said. “But it feels really good to get back on the field. I told someone else it’s like Christmas morning — I get to wake up and play football. All glory to God. This is really exciting.”

Shunned Louisiana boy with high IQ making good.....Look for Dan Mullen to pick him up and make another Louisiana bred Dak

fm33 this guy learned a new offense in 2 weeks, throws for 400+ yards and 4 touchdowns and you choose to shite on it? WOW! Did you sst the same abiut Mett's accomplishment in JC? I dont recall anyone downplaying his stats which were cited as proof we were getting a great QB.

I wouldn't be shocked if this kid becomes another Russell Wilson. Sometimes if life you just need people to believe in you and give you a chance.

I would be shocked if this kid wins a Super Bowl

Hopefully after one year there, he transfers to Harvard and wrecks the Ivy before going pro.

luciouslou•80 months

Good for him. And after seeing him play it ought to make you feel better about our qb situation considering there were several guys ahead of him

Opportunity is an amazing thing. Glad he took advantage of it and had a great debut.

Hopefully this means that the two freshman and the started are more than legit.

Wish the multi-talented guy the best! Unless he plays against LSU in which case the worst just for that day, then back to the best!

Got faith that this young man will land another Power 5 spot after this season. He has the tools and brains to get it done. I get that we can't play 4 QB's at one time and someone had to be the odd man out. Stuck between a Senior and 2 dynamic true freshman. Hard to argue for him to start unless DE lays an egg in the first few games.

And he threw the TD pass to Kirk Merritt. Talk about an odd situation of events.

Who's Kirk Merritt?

ready4something•80 months

all eyes on etling against an overmatched BYU defense. He should put up decent numbers.....at least 200 passing yards.

Drizzt•80 months

Good for him. This guy helped LSU out of jam that year with QB recruiting. He was loyal and I wish him nothing but the best.

Always knew he had it in him. He was beastly in high school. Maybe he

Kirk Merritt looks like he got over his jock itch. LINK /

I read the Meridian newspaper and it said 4 TD's not 5 and 418 yards not 535

Oh well that's different…
