He was a 5 star safety, but he’s not a boundary corner. Why is LSU trying to force him into that role?

You have freshmen like Stamps, Toviano and Hughes along with returning LT Welch who can all play boundary corner.

Why is LSU trying to force Ryan into playing CB?

I don't think the staff wants him there either but they don't really have a ton of options.

Because it gives us our best chance of winning. It’s funny how you would never question why Elon Musk assigns one programmer to one task and another to a second. But when it comes to football you honestly think your judgement is better than Brian Kelly’s.

You didn’t watch him at safety did you

Bc he has done better than the others. He has been fine since moving strictly to corner. When he struggled it was at nickel covering the slot. Zy is the only one who was better.

Sage Ryan has actually been bad at anywhere he plays. He will get attacked Saturday and I fear for us mightily

Anyone have PFF grades? I'd be curious to know what he's graded out at CB since he made the switch

We play zone. He will be and has been fine.

Maybe, just maybe, the staff has seen them all practice a little bit more than you and they are basing their decisions on that.

I’m going to trust our staff to decide who’s best suited to fill that spot on Saturday

He's the best cornerback we have available.

Complaining about Ryan at a time like this is the height of stupidity.

He was a 5 star athlete , in hindsight he may have been better on offense who knows

Do you really have to ask why?

He is a bust... plain and simple. It happens. Usually, this means that he has tools, but not the brain to use them.

Sage has been playing well out there why in the world would you want to change that when all 4 of our transfer CBs are out for likely the remainder of the season?

In case you haven't watched the past few seasons he's more like a 1 star safety. I believe he is a much better corner than safety.

Don’t you think that they would play any of those guys if they thought they were a better option than Ryan?
