Who do you think will replace him as a speed threat and on end-arounds, etc? Especially with Landry's status in question too

landry's status isn't in question; but I share your concern. outside of RR we're looking at a bunch of true/redshirt freshmen.

while I think Shep was ready to break out as a more "true" WR this yr, I'm confident that the young guys can replace him - by committee if need be.

I'd look for Beckham, Turner or Gore to get a WR sweep or 2 to show we still have that threat, and then fake that play and go up top. kinda like we did down the stretch last yr.

Not me. We've recruited well at the wr position. I'm sure one of the young guys can step up.

No need to fear... These young guys will show why they were highly recruited!

F that, Dworaczyk is the loss no one is talking about.

RR, D Pete, and Spencer Ware will be getting lots of looks down the field and out of the backfield for Ware. I'm not THAT worried since we at least have these 3 fairly proven guys. Add to the fact that they don't have Harris and have to start a true freshman at corner makes it more interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if LSU actually shows a decent aerial attack this game.

ODB and Landry may be the most college ready incoming freshmen WRs we have had at LSU, and we are just blessed to have them in the same year and a year were they are needed more than ever. Both run great routes and are very quick (ODB has elite speed) which is key for JLee and play to his strengths

Yeah, RS10 was the only fast receiver on our roster.

I don't think RS10 will be a major loss. He really isn't a great wideout and we have plenty of other guys that are capable of running a jet sweep.
