LSU backup punter

Would it shock anyone to know that LSU has a left footed punter that has proven again and again that he has tremendous hang time and consistency (4.2-4.8)....but bdp has chosen to redshirt him? Part of our punting issues is that we either shank or have not been getting good hang time. Its time to reconsider.

No doubt, if that's true that's asinine. Keene is far from good, hell he's below average.

OK, but Leslie can veto this decision.

Keene had a decent year in 2014 and it appears Les believes he can turn himself around and kick better going forward. I would have thought there would have been a change, or at least an opportunity, for another punter to prove themselves in a game.

Are we talking about Josh Growden? If he truly is that much better, might as well give him a shot.
And redshirted are handed out after the season is over. So he's not redshirted right now.
Like I said, if he's truly a lot better than Keehn and would drastically improve or punt team, might as well let him get out there and punt a couple to see if he can do it as well in games as he does in practice.
However, I should note that Keehn was a good punter last year.
So he has shown he can be a damn good punter. Perhaps that's why the staff has given him such a long leash? Because he is a shell of what he was last year. Maybe they think he's in a funk and will break out of it?
