They usually have players only meetings when things are starting to go bad. What's the point in having one when the season hasn't even started yet?

Who hasn't played a meaningful game in almost 2 years. Especially for a solid CB who has a WHOLE 2 games in his entire collegiate career. Tell me more

Gerald Willis hasn't played a meaningful game in a year. None of our highly touted freshman have played any snaps in college yet. Does that mean that we can't look at their skill set, athleticism or potential and get excited about the what they might bring to the table?

It's not like the kid has been sitting on the couch, eating potato chips and watching Ghost Adventures re-runs the whole time he's been suspended either....He's been practicing normally with the team, meaning LSU'S coaching staff has been able to evaluate him vs good competition every day just like any other player on their roster. If, based on watching him play during both the spring and fall camps, they determine that Fulton is their best option opposite Greedy Williams when we play them in 10 days I'm sure they'll play/start him regardless of experience.

We aren’t relying on our freshman as saviors.

The kid has playes three games in his career and has one career tackle.

When you start thinking players like that are your saviors...you are not in a good position.

I don't understand where you're getting the word "saviors" from. It's not from me. I linked the article to inform everyone that the cb that everyone thought was going to be suspended for our game is now eligible to play against us. He was a highly regarded prospect coming out of HS and the LSU fans and coaches are high on his potential. Another guy to factor into the equation when contemplating our game. That's it.

The reason people are saying "savior" is because you referred to him as a huge piece of there defense in your post with the link.

lol @ "reading all of that". A whopping 5-6 sentences.

C'mon man, you don't have to read it all at once. Give me one sentence a day and you can have it all done by next Wednesday...

This kid was running with the first team defense and projected to be their starting CB opposite Greedy Williams until LSU thought he was going to be suspended for another season. I would consider losing a starting cornerback a significant blow.

I get not wanting to crown the kid due to his lack of game experience. All I'm saying is that he was projected by LSU's coaching staff to be one of their 2 starting CBs because he was evaluated during practices to be their best option vs his competition. I would have prefer it if LSU would have been without their best option at that spot because it would have made them have to dig deeper than into their CB depth chart when we go 3, 4 or 5 wide..

And in 2 years he hasn't done anything. Which shows LSU's staff can't develop talent. What you were in HS is different than what you are now.

Potential and actual development are two completely different things.

I understand what you are saying, I'm just telling you why some people are questioning the wording of your post.

Yeah, I think "huge piece" was probably a little bit of a stretch considering his lack of actual game experience. "Probable starter" is probably what zone should have went with instead.

I don't follow LSU close enough to know why he didn't play more as a true freshman but he was suspended all of last year (1st year of a 2 year suspension) because he tried to cheat on a drug test.

A CB isn't going to make a difference in us winning or losing that game. If we execute, we win.

Agree. The best CB can only cover a guy for so long. If Rosier has a clean pocket and enough time to throw we have the athletes to get open. The key to the ball game is going to be the line of scrimmage as always.

This

With the D line both teams have, if the offensive lines struggle its going to be a brutal night for both offenses. You are looking at 2 of the best D's in the country playing.

What i am interested to see is miami was 125th ranked in 3rd down conversions last year only converting 29% percent of the time and LSU's D only allowed opposing teams to convert 35% of the time and was 20th in the nation at stopping 3rd down conversions.

Wrong. If the O-line is able to pass protect, then the key to the ballgame is if Rosier is actually able to get the ball to the guys who are open. There were many times last year where players were running wide open, Rosier had time to throw, and he still threw a pass that was nowhere near the receiver. Sh*t was infuriating.
