Lindsay Scott Jr - Asst Qb coach at Texas Tech

As I mentioned on the Tiger Rant:

1) Does it say something about his character that he was on the roster of 5 colleges in 5 years even before the Transfer Portal era?

2) Also, when in a position to do so, would he ever take a bigger risk in a situation if he thought it could get a camera on him?

I am referencing when Lindsey Scott lost the FCS Semifinal game (2 Interceptions and 2 Fumbles) for a very talented Incarnate Word by making a terribly selfish decision to attempt an under thrown double covered "Look-At-Me Hero Ball" on 1st & 10 with 90 seconds left: Highlight of Scott's Game Losing Interception versus North Dakota State in FCS Semifinal on 1st & 10 with 90 Seconds Left

bring back on the staff in some way

He is at an up and coming program that will be in the playoff this year.

TT is on the rise he may want to stay put.

We will never know. Miles fired the month after Scott freshman year. Jucco natty, MVP, FCS Heisman. I'm going say that he and LSU (at the time) weren't a fit.

---

No we do know. He very undersized and had serious limitations. Lets not play revisionist history here. I rooted for him when he left but he was not a talented enough for P4 program. He tried a smaller schools and found a home in Nichols and Incarnate Word which is where his talents were suited. Hope he continues to find success as a Coach and maybe will end up Coaching in some capacity at LSU.

These are facts:
He was bigger and taller than KMurray and Bryce Young. MUCH bigger than D 'erik King (who started for Miami). Scott is/was built like an NFL RB. He is/was not small. His head coach was fired at both P5 schools shortly after he arrived. Both schools had established starters when he arrived. Mizzou had a NFL draftee (Drew Lock) as it's starter, and brought in Kelly Bryant (who played in the national championship the prior year). So factually, we what would have happened if any of these facts were different. .

Also Facts:
He didn't just play FCS. He left with more TDs (71) than anyone in NCAA history. His 60 TDs is an FCS record. He and Skataboo combined for more pts in a FCS playoff game, than anyone FCS History. Took UIW to the FCS semifinal , losing to power house N Dakota state 9-6 (something like that). A reporter described him as the most talented player to grace the Fargo Dome since Tray Lance (49ers / Cowboys).

My OPINION:
If he was going to play power 5, he should have stuck with Syracuse or Maryland. If he was going G5, Tulane loved him. Chosing two P5 squads with the turmoil which LSU/Mizzou was enduring was his biggest mistake. Credit to him for moving on. Scott is built much like Pavia (Vanderbilt). He should have found his Vanderbilt. I can't profess to know whether he was good enough on the P5 level However, his record setting performance on the FCS levelcertainly left room for question.

Buddy, at the size he is you have to be other worldly at something

No way Bryce Young had a stronger arm. And the only thing other worldly about B. Young is Alabama lol

quote:

---

There is a reason he could not make it in the NFL

---

I'm no expert, but I don't see any sub 6ft QBs going to the NFL from the FCS. Shorter guys have to come from larger programs

quote:

---

the fact of the matter he was not better than Danny Etling

---

Well yeah, Danny had started 3 seasons of major college ball (including Purdue). He was gone after Scott's redshirt year. Scott didn't fit Mile's system, which is why LSU was not a good decision.

quote:

---

definitely not better than a 2018 Joe Burrow.

---

Burrow is the Goat. So that's that. ALSO, Scott was never on the roster with Joe. Burrow is a good example though. IF Urban Meyer had not chosen Justin Fields over Burrow, and IF Joe Brady had not come to LSU in Burrow's 2nd season, the world might not know the greatest of Burrow. For most players (esp QBs), the right situation is important.

Again, I love the kid and maybe he would have found success at ULL or Tulane but even that is not a guarantee.

I agree. Syracuse and Maryland loved him, and were better fits.
