No. It's Live Oak. They never have any studs. But I guess the other team might. Who they playing?
Seems to me that a kid coming to LSU because he loves Bourbon street may not be such a good thing down the road
The option is a great play when run correctly. LSU's problems arise from the fact that Crowton insists on running it with a non-option qb. If you don't have a natural feel for running it, it's sometimes difficult to learn. Also, many people in LA (and evidently Crowton) equate black athletic qb with option qb. They aren't the same.
I'm pretty sure I saw him playing last night. #71 I believe

The really great thing is how they fit together. Most of the EPL games are done before the big college football games get started.

I'm pretty excited for both, but give me a couple weeks to pick one. If Tottenham make it to the group stages, EPL may win out for me this year.

Pretty much what I was thinking watching his youtube video. Looks like a promising prospect, especially if given time to fill out his frame and get stronger. Seems like a "gamer" and shows good ability to make plays with his feet. My first concern, admittedly small, is on none of the plays on the video did he take a snap from under center. However, if he truly is even a decent athlete, he should be able to learn this quickly.

Hope he's a good kid. His brother was never in any off field trouble I can remember, just runs his mouth too much. All in all, count me in the "happy he committed" group.

Let's look at the numbers shall we...

2009 stats:
NAME REC YDS YPR LONG TD
1. Shay Hodge, Ole Miss 70 1135 16.2 65 8
2. Darvin Adams, Auburn 60 997 16.6 72 10
3. Riley Cooper, Florida 51 961 18.8 80 9
4. Greg Childs, Arkansas 48 897 18.7 75 7
5. Aaron Hernandez, Florida 68 850 12.5 64 5
6. A.J. Green, Georgia 53 808 15.2 65 6
7. Brandon LaFell, LSU 57 792 13.9 58 11
8. Alshon Jeffery, S Carolina 46 763 16.6 80 6
9. Terrance Toliver, LSU 53 735 13.9 45 3
10. Jarius Wright, Arkansas 41 681 16.6 58 5
11. Gerald Jones, Tennessee 46 680 14.8 51 4
12. Julio Jones, Alabama 43 596 13.9 73 4


Now I assume we can agree Julio's long catch (73 yards) and 1 of the TDs can be discounted IF PP was fully healthy, but I digress.

2009 SEC Total Offense ranks:
TEAM G YDS YPG RUSH RYPG PASS PYPG PTS PTS/G
1. Florida 14 6410 457.9 3105 221.8 3305 236.1 502 35.9
2. Auburn 13 5613 431.8 2756 212.0 2857 219.8 430 33.1
3. Arkansas 13 5558 427.5 1713 131.8 3845 295.8 466 35.8
4. Alabama 14 5642 403.0 3011 215.1 2631 187.9 449 32.1 5. Mississippi 13 5231 402.4 2387 183.6 2844 218.8 384 29.5
6. Tennessee 13 4985 383.5 2043 157.2 2942 226.3 381 29.3
7. Mississippi State 12 4463 371.9 2731 227.6 1732 144.3 305 25.4
8. Georgia 13 4708 362.2 2093 161.0 2615 201.2 376 28.9
9. South Carolina 13 4516 347.4 1576 121.2 2940 226.2 266 20.5
10. Kentucky 13 4310 331.5 2486 191.2 1824 140.3 339 26.1
11. Vanderbilt 12 3680 306.7 1924 160.3 1756 146.3 194 16.2
12. LSU 13 3959 304.5 1596 122.8 2363 181.8 323 24.8

So, from an offense that was far inferior according the the numbers, LSU had 2 receivers with better stats than Julio. It would then stand to reason they may be at least as good as Julio, if not better.

As far as your "he was injured some of the year" argument, if you can't play then you obviously can't start. So thank you for supporting my point.

Oh, and thanks ESPN for the info

re: my EPL team . . . Tottenham Hotspur?

Used to have dish but got rid of it. EPL will be carried on Fox Soccer Channel (have to get sports tier I believe) and ESPN2

I became a Spurs supporter after the last WC. If you grew up a Saints fan, you will be very comfortable following Spurs. Just when then begin to look promising and get your hopes up, they fall flat and disappoint
