I thought Dee Anderson was Malachi at first. lol Good hands! I would have like to see more work with them passing to the TE's and RB's out the back field, but I guess that'll come. The defense is a lot better from last season already. Aranda is the real deal!

Pretty good observations, but I think McMillan is capable--the two in front of him have much more experience.

Looking at just a little of Bama's spring game, at this time, I strongly prefer LSU's quarterback outlook for this fall to theirs.

Yep... And it's not just that his a big body WR, it's that he knows how to use it and is very physical. Heard a lot of good things about Jazz in practice reports and really liked what I saw from him today.

Damn. Some of you people. Isn't it a GOOD thing that the line still looked good with so many out? Doesn't that show some depth. Way to find the negative there.

I'm not saying he sucks. Just that he's definitely third string right now. Based on comments about how he looked last year, I wondered if he might push Etling a little for 2nd string. That doesn't look to be the case.

However, he has two years to develop before he should have a legit shot to See the field. He has time to get better. It will be interesting to see how he and Scott match up next year and down the road.

To be honest, I learned very little. Just glad #7 wasn't injured.

And,

If Harris gets injured, I feel ok with
Etling.

I saw Duke Riley making the defensive calls and getting people into position. He won several team awards and seems to be Aranda's "guy"

You could say LSU is more of a spread team since Harris took over last year.


Even FSU still uses the I-form. As does Michigan, USC, temple Bama Arkansas and many teams across CFB.

WR -- good potential
Def -- looks solid, high expectations
QB -- Etling - nice get
Harris - not impressed-but didn't see a lot of him

Coaching--Time management still an issue.......sorry couldn't resist! ??

1. That its going to be the SOS.

2. Harris 8-12 for 52 yards.

3. I still can't stand the sight of that bumbling idiot of a head coach.

4. At least this is the last year we will have to put up with this crap.

#61 running with 2nd team at center did a good job. Is that the same kid in the dance off video?

The wide receivers are solid. There may not be enough balls to go around... Dural, Dupre, Jazz, DJ, Tyron, Dee, Sullivan and Drake. Imagine going 5 wide with any combination of these guys!

The defense should be very disruptive. Aranda only showed a vanilla defense and it was still better than what I saw last year.

Our front 7 is catching interceptions. Offense will be working with a short field.

Leonard Fournette is a man among boys out there.

This fall I would rather D Jackson returning punts instead of T White.

Overall, I'm excited about the possibilities this season presents.

The main thing you want to see is organized play on offense/defense. Plays in on time, no blown assignments things of that nature. If they play with discipline in the spring, then it will only get better in the fall.

It was a fun day in and around Tiger stadium.I would like to share this observation,Harris is our starter,no doubt,hes been in the system 3 years,we know what he can do.Etling to me could be the wildcard,big kid,He did have a perfect TD pass,right on the money.But from what I saw and maybe he was just trying to make a good impression but he forced a couple passes in double coverage.Great day to be a Tiger FAN Though!!!

Devin White played 2nd team RILB. He runs a sub 4.5. I am only in the second quarter watching the game but have yet to see him sent on a blitz.
