LSU fans hoped he would return to TR FR form, not the mediocre state he was in this season.


He didn’t look any different athletically as a Freshman to me and I for one recall thinking and posting on this site that the kid did not look like the hype that was being posted about his play. He looked very developmental, not explosive.

He had two sacks against McNeese to make his freshman stats look good but otherwise looked exactly like he did this season. His elite quality is only in pushing and hand fighting with the OL that just mauled him during the play. That is his only elite quality.

I disagree completely. His TR FR season, he looked like a monster. He was quicker off the snap and gave a much stronger push up the middle. I found him to be very explosive. What I don't know is was his responsibility this season more to control that area of the LOS and not to be aggressive? But I really doubt that as LSU's pass rush was putrid and needed the push up the middle.

TR FR play = A.... RS SO play = C-
