Charles Scott, Keiland Williams, Brandon Lafell, and 2 OLinemen. Michael Ford, Steven Ridley, and Richard Murphy are good backs ready to take over the running game. Throw in true freshman Jakari Gore and Spencer Ware and you have a pretty damn good RB corp.

what's the word on Jefferson? it doesn't look like he can progress that much more, i think he's just an average QB talent

Jefferson is playing in the wrong scheme. He is the perfect QB for a run first, play action style offense. Crowton runs an insane, crazy version of the spread passing/option offense. Jefferson does not fit with the system Crowton is trying to run.
Crowton manages to expose Jefferson's weaknesses as a QB, that's why he looks bad a lot.

what's up with Sheppard? i felt he could have done big things last year but didn't get many touches.

We all felt the same way. I think Crowton forgot he was on the team, that's the only explanation I can think of. That or just plain incompetence.

LSU has all the talent in the world to compete with the best, but coaching is what's wrong. As if you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan of Crowton at all. He doesn't adjust his scheme and he constantly puts his QB in bad situations (Look at Jarrett Lee in 08 and Jefferson in 09). The only positive going into 2010 offensively is that we can't be any worse then last year, but with Crowton still here, we won't be much better.

Mark my words, LSU will not compete for another SEC title until Crowton is gone. Everyone keeps saying Miles is the problem, well it is in the sense he should have fired him. But LSU can be among the elite again with a halfway competent OC.
