QB

why would we do that?

He should be angry with himself that he continues to tolerate his pitching coach being very very average at best.

My first game in TS was in 1959. My dad's friend, Devane Pierce, was the brother of the wife of Don Kozan, who played on the Chinese Bandits squad. Kozan got us 4 tickets in the South EZ upper deck basically above where the opposing bands sit in today's games. My father and my best friend, Spike Pierce, who played at LSU in 1964-1966, and his father Devane attended the game, my first. We were mesmerized watching Billy Cannon field the punt right in front of us and run directly away down the east sideline toward the NorthEast corner EZ.
Although I had been a fan living in BR from age 5-8, that game was my first taste of TS/ LSU football at age 13.
I have been an adamant Tiger fan ever since this coming October for 75 years. I met my wife at LSU and my entire family has graduated from LSU.
I am blessed to bleed Purple and Gold.

I agree. I think he should have been used like the Honey Badger and I think he most likely would have succeeded. When he was misplaced on the field and teams were able to identify and scheme away from him, it appeared that he lost interest and his desire to perform. After the injury, it appeared he wasn't willing to engage . Just observations. A real mystery for many reasons.

This is one of several reason imo.
Whit out created big problems. With mobile qb's that can run and throw, discipline in lanes in paramount. Whit out caused a lot of missed assignments from lesser experienced players.
I also think that a lot of containment was put on the shoulders of Perkins because of his demonstrated skills his freshman year.
However, Perkins stopped being that player. He either developed the worst field vision I have ever seen from a talented defender or he just didn't seem to be willing to put forth the effort needed. He seemed to take himself out of plays more often than not. Tremendous football measureables but lack of field vision or understanding what was happening before him, just left him virtually useless, even a detriment to the success of the defense because so much was directed at him to cover.
It is hard to understand why he just got worse and worse every year, so much so that a player that was supposed to be our very best turned out to be our very worst, or close to it as far as making plays he was counted on to make. It could be a coaching problem, but if it is, I think we will see something that resembles Perkins plan again this year from someone that we are thinking will be very good for us. Hope we don't ever see that again at LSU as we have seen too many 5 star hopefuls fall flat in recent years.

not sure, but I am sure he is related to Cass!

I believe this, as most awards, are predetermined before the season starts. there is no rational reason why a player with better fielding stats is not even nominated or in the last couple of contenders.
Feel bad for Milam, maybe next year he will be appreciated .

I love big nasty guards

that sounds just like last year's pre season conversation.

best insight of the year....and most obvious
