Its a great stat for LSU to brag about but in the end who really cares?


The guys who caught those 1000 yards, and whose to say it isn't because the 3rd guy didn't show up? Speedy or someone else could surely show up and make the passing attack EVEN BETTER. Not to mention Jennings will have 4 years under Cam, not just 1 offseason.

That's great for them, but NFL scouts do not give a frick if you had 1000 rec or 800 Rec, let alone if your team had 2 WR with 1000. Its a nice accomplishment for LSU, OBJ and Landry, but utterly meaningless for future recruits and their NFL prospects.

A&M attempted 37.6 passes, LSU 25.5. That's 12 more passer/game. 25.5 passes/game is not enough for 2 WR to have 1000 yds and a 3rd WR to have done anything. If a 3rd WR had shown up, the top 2's stats would have gone done, but that doesn't matter either because pro scouts don't care about slight variations or arbitrary thresholds like 1000 yds.

Very possible and I sure hope. I've said multiple times that there are pluses for LSU's offense. It is possible for some one with Speedy's talent to thrive in EITHER offense. Recognizing the appeal of A&M's offense is not saying a WR can not thrive in LSU's offense, the 2 are not mutually exclusive.
