LSU Tigers


Les Miles brings back a very talented team to Baton Rouge. Quarterback is been a disappointment since JaMarcus Russell left town for the draft. Senior Matt Flynn had an amazing game in 2005 against Miami. However he has not had much playing time since then. Sophomore Ryan Perrilloux was projected to be an amazing star, however his star was dulled by an off season mistake. Who ever is taking snaps will be throwing to amazing receiver Early Doucet. As a junior Doucet caught 59 passes for 750 yards. Fullback Jacob Hester led the team in rushing with 450 yards. He is a versatile player who runs, catches, and blocks. The tailback is being projected to be sophomore Keiland Williams. Williams got a year worth of experience last year as a freshman. Senior Alley Broussard could be a great asset to the team once he reaches the form he had 3 years ago. The o-line returns 3 starters at tackel with Ciron Black and Herman Johnson and center Brett Helms.

Glenn Dorsey brings back the big time play making ability that the d-line needs in Baton Rouge. Along with end Tyson Jackson, they anchor an impressive defensive unit. Jackson had 8.5 sacks a year ago and both of them led the team for tackles for a loss. The backing corps is loaded with senior Ali Highsmith, juniors Darry Beckwith and Luke Sanders returning. Highsmith is fast enough to play defensive back but hits hard enough to lead the SEC at linebacker. The backfield is at a loss after LaRon Landry, however the corner position is filled by 2 returning seniors. Jonathan Zenon and Chevis Jackson continue to disrupt the passings game of opposing offensives.

Tiger Stadium welcomes the challenge of Virgina Tech, South Carolina, and Auburn to Death Valley. Meanwhile the Tigers travel to Tuscaloosa to face Nick Saban and his new team in the Crimson Tide.
