I mean Van Buren was a 54% / 125 rating guy at Miss State.

Wouldn’t be the first fluke QB to go ham on us but on paper he isn’t exactly Joe Burrow.

In the past we've lost at least twice to back-up's coming in cold off the bench late due to injury.

Nix Sr. did it to us at the barn, with a push off from their receiver under Stallings and we lost to La Tech under Dubose the same way.

Don’t forget the OSU back up guy that beat the brakes off of us and never did another meaningful thing again

That was more recent. I rememeber the La Tech guy coming in too, cold, td pass to beat us in Shula's first year. Could have heard a needle hit the hay in Byrant Denny that day.

We lost to USCe one year late when the backup QB came in. Was under Shula or Fraudchonie.

I assumed they announced LSU was hiring Bret Bielema or someone and it broke the site

Ya'll sitting there and listing all of the players who was backup.

At the end of the day... Just prepare for both guys... I find it unlikely they can spend two weeks revising whole offense... but they can add few wrinkles. Just weather the storm and eventually they'll run out of options.

Not saying it can’t happen, but this Bama defense has done a pretty good job of adapting to athletic QBs. I think Sellers might be the best pure athlete we see at QB all season.

If we play AM in SEC champ game, their quarterback is very athletic, more than Sellers IMO. He will be difficult to handle.

Reed is nowhere near as big as Sellers. A big part of Sellers success is that he's such a huge guy at 6-2 and 240 lbs and freakishly shifty for a guy his size. You'll never ever arm tackle Sellers. He's like a runaway freight train when he gets a head of steam up.

TAMU’s problem is they have a really good WR corps plus an athlete at QB.
