I think he meant won't we need a backup QB available for that game. I actually think LSU would be comfortable sending a walk on out with a large lead for one game.


Plus, can't Mcmillian take a limited number of snaps and still maintain a redshirt? They have gotten much looser on those and the transfer rules in the last 10 years.

No. That was under old rules. Once you play one play you cannot receive a Redshirt.

A player who "gets injured" may apply for a medical redshirt after playing.

Thanks for clarifying what I meant--just thought a back-up QB might be needed. But I don't think you can take it for granted that LSU will take a 40-point lead (or something like that) into the fourth quarter vs. McNeese. The Tigers sometimes have trouble building up big leads against over- matched teams.

I am sure LSU most likely could get by without using McMillan for that game, even if, God forbid, something happens to Harris--if Jennings is not available.
