Tarkenton was a scrambler - but never showed a lot of interest in running for positive yards. He scrambled to extend plays and throw the ball downfield. The exception was near the goal line.

According to his stats, he only averaged about 200 yards rushing per season over his career. Granted, he may not have been a full-time starter all those years - so that stat may be skewed.

But my memories of him as a scrambler were to set up a big pass play.

Tonight was great. And no doubt, Bama has routinely outperformed us at the LOS. But your memory is short.

In the 2008 game, LSU held Bama to 138 yards rushing, while LSU rushed for over 200 yards. Scott rushed for 92 yards, while KWilliams rushed for 88.

And in 2010, LSU rushed for 225, while holding Bama to 102.

Yes, they are outliers - but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

Well, the OP asked for a “starting offensive line”. So I started out with a line that was offensive.

I can’t imagine anyone being worried about a WR in this class.

The thing I mentioned about York last year held true through 2020 as well: He gets immediate elevation on his kicks - including from long distance.

A lot of kickers can maybe boom them from 55-60 yards, but for them to get home - they need it to be more of a line drive. Which makes their long kicks more susceptible to being blocked at the line-of-scrimmage.

Having York as your kicker greatly minimizes that possibility.

I think the #1 SEC QB is the composite of “Whoever is throwing against LSU’s secondary this week”.

Not game day yet for all Tiger fans. I got another 5 1/2 hours before game day comes.

But I’ll be up at 3:30 am for this game to begin. Once again!!

Since Kiner committed, there has never been a need for a second back.

Not only that, but Daniels was only 17 years old that season - due to graduating high school in only 3 years.

And like LSU, their offensive scheme was overhauled the following season (last year) to be much more QB friendly.

I didn’t want to reply to anyone specifically - so I chose the OP.

I have read numerous people saying they have hoped LSU would not bring in a transfer QB because of:
- Brennan has earned the #1 spot (talent + loyalty)
- It would be unfair if some transfer suddenly leaped ahead of him
- What would it do to his psyche?

I understand this reasoning. But I just don’t agree with it. Mainly for one reason: “What would our QB room look like if Brennan were to suffer a season-ending injury in our 3rd game?”

You simply cannot have too much talented or experienced depth at the QB position. You should strive to never have your entire season hinge on one potential injury. In this case, Kirby Smart is right to keep stockpiling QBs. It greatly enhances the likelihood that at least one of them pans out.
