I think towards the middle of the season Dupre will have won back that edge starting position. He's too dominant and consistent not to be on the field in the 2 wr sets. My theory that chark jumping him is more because of how good he does in practice. When the game starts however Dupre is one of those guys you need on the field, especially if the game's on the line.

Dural and Chark have a similar skill set too, being vertical speed. Dupre is more of a possession, deep crossing route WR. Diarse is a physical guy who can play across the middle leaving Tyron Johnson and Quinn as the slot/underneath guys.

Maybe LSU posters will believe me now that I say Dupre will be in the slot...

The Advocate Aug 18, 2015

"Dupre has, at times, moved into the role of a slot receiver, the inside spot where John Diarse and Trey Quinn played last season. When LSU is in a three-receiver set, the Tigers are expected to have D.J. Chark and Travin Dural on the outside and Dupre in the slot.

It gives LSU three speedy, athletic and talented players in different locations on the field at one time. It gives the defense trouble, especially with Dupre aligned toward the center of the field.

He caught both of his touchdowns in LSU’s spring game while lined up in the slot."


I would like to add to that statement that he showed a propensity to catch the short 10 yd cross pattern from the slot that Juice Landry made a living on at LSU...
