Quick as a cat and arm looked good on the TD pass. The RB that is going to Minnesota next year looks good enough to join Shephard here at LSU. He's a beast.

i dont have espnU but when i watch shep play it seems like he may not have the arm to succeed in the SEC and may swithc to like WR or something...how does his arm look in this game so far? i saw someone said the TD pass looked good...more good passes?

Yes, QB and returning kicks. Unbelieveable.

I have ESPNU- he threw 3 passes.
One was a deep out, a little underthrown.
One was a frozen rope 28 yds on a post.
The other was a 60 yd bomb- perfect pass.

This is my first time watching him play. And from what I've seen, he has an underrated arm. Definitely SEC caliber. Needs some work on his mechanics, but he is working with Jeff Blake and I am sure Crowton will work on that too.

All in all- this kid is going to be a monster.

He looks better passing than the two we have now. Arm strength and accuracy are not issues tonight.

Super impressive so far. The bomb was in stride, over the shoulder perfect. Luginbill is calling the game and just commented that he may reconsider the ATH label on Shepard and call him a QB.

This is my first time seein' this kid. In a word, thus far tonight, he's ELECTRIFYING


Wow, he's faster than Perriloux was, although his arm may not be quite as strong

Shepard is putting on a show tonight. I love how they keep mentioning Shepard is going to LSU.
