re: Any news on Canada

Agree with much of your post.

Initial rub between Canada & O came from OC wanting to play Brennan due to Etling's lack of ability. O vetoed that due to possibility of freshman mistakes probably leading to losses since we weren't good enough to overcome turnovers and missed opportunities, in his opinion. They wen at it back & forth over this issue for 1st half of season until OC dropped the issue.

O figured that this year was a pass since it was year #1. And he would have some grace next year with an inexperienced QB. But if he had a returning starter at QB, expectations would be substantially higher. So he wanted to "bank" some wins this year with an experienced if unspectacular QB and try to get Brennan/Narcisse ready for next year. At last that is what I have heard from inside the building.

I like Canada's offense and would love to see a highly capable QB run it at LSU behind a good OL. With our WR talent I think we could average 45 ppg. It would be really fun to watch and after sitting through 15 years of Saban/Miles "get a little lead and sit on it and hope they don't catch up" I would love to see a little more wide open offense.
