re: LSU moves Russell Shepard to wide receiver

You say he played QB in spring and fall. A whole spring, and whole fall? Yeah....that's plenty of time.

I must assume you would rather him ride the pine as 3rd QB instead of being on the field every play, correct?

You can say what you want but it's pretty obvious. They gave him a shot at QB and he didn't win the starting spot. Instead of maybe 5-10 plays a game as a situational QB, he will be on the field nearly every play.

This is not unprecedented. Kerry Meier was the starter at Kansas before moving to WR. Some guys just want to play and when their athleticism and skills are suitable as a starter/contributor at another position who's to say that's not where they belong.

How many HS QB's ended up playing somewhere else in college? Just on LSU's team I can think of: R. Randle, S. Ware, S. Gibson, R. Brooks, and M. Claiborne off the top of my head.
