If Rashad Lawrence signs with the Tigers on Feb. 3, 2016, I am hoping that him or Frank Herron gets the job and LaCouture rotates with them. Herron as a part-time player had the same number of sacks and tackles for loss as a LaCouture who was a starter in 2015.

LSU needs to play the best player at the position this fall minus seniority. This is about championships, not another D.J. Welter situation.

Geaux Tigers!

like it has been said, he is good but not dominate. to have a great season we have to have a dominate player at DT.

I think his sister is worthy of an OT rating

Dominant is the word you're looking for

Didn't read this whole thread but he has not been impressive to me. No push, slow, etc. He fits well into a rotation but a starter he should not be. I guess this just shows the lack of DL talent we have had recently

Didn't read this whole thread either but I'd bet money if his name were Chartrell instead of Christian this thread wouldn't even exist.

Lacatour is the most experienced player on LSU's football team.
He's been in the line up and contributing to this football team since he was freshman.
You people really need to GTF over it.
Dude is starting.

This thread is a perfect example of just how ignorant half of this fan base is.

I'm just called a spade a spade.
People don't have to type it to imply it.
Come on kid, you are smarter than this.
