Does Vegas do odds on this kind of thing? I feel like it is something that would draw a lot of bets.

I think both are great choices. Players can improve tremendously during one offseason (mettenburger for example), so I think it's fair to say well see improvement from all of our players, not just welter. He's the voice of the defense, so giving him #18 isn't a far stretch. Magee is a guy whose gave his all to lsu. He's waited for his time to shine, and deserves the spot light on his last year. He's a great model for our younger players to look up to. My favorite part about his and is that he always sends praise to God. His helmet even carries his favorite bible verse in it. Whichever way they go, I'll support the decision of who wears what. Because at the end of the day, it's still a Purple and Gold jersey!

As someone stated earlier, I would love to see Magee get #18 simply because he has been such an unselfish team player. He has moved from running back to receiver, then back to running back & never complained (at least not publicly).

By the way, D.J Welter is a MF'n LSU TIGER. He was a highly ranked player that chose to come to LSU over several other programs. Any true Tiger fan should admire that fact and support him. Coaches jobs are at stake over wins & losses & if Welter is a libility/risk for losing games, he will not start. If Beckwith knows the playbook & is better than Welter, he will start. Bottom line.
