Stack the box and leave Dupre/Dural one-on-one.. Can't. Wait.
I don't think Dural and Dupre are putting much fear into defenses at this point in time. Dupre may end up being great but he's still just a freshmen that is coming from a run heavy offense in high school. If you're expecting him to abuse SEC corners from the jump then you're gonna have a bad time.

I agree, but he'll be up against some young corners as well.
IIRC isn't Brown expected to start for yall?

Coming from a run heavy offense in high school doesn't mean shite..if anything, he's used to blocking a lot, which is always a learning curve in college. Summer 7 on 7/ fall ball vs 2 of the best CB's in the league will have him ready to abuse SEC corners from the jump

Dupre will make an early impact.

In 2011, LSU continually pounded the ball against teams with 8+ in the box consistently. I think LSU's oline will be somewhat similar to that oline. If we can consistently get 4+ yards a carry, this will leave Dural and Dupre in one on ones. They will be bigger than most corners, and Harris/Jennings will not have to make perfect throws to get them the ball. I also see LSU using the tight ends much more this year which well help open up the field a little bit and should take some pressure off the young quarterbacks.

The dude has already been out to Cali with Harris and going against college DBs, catching passes with the likes of Connor Cook, Bryce Petty, et all, and learning technique. There was talk all the time out there about how ridiculous be was catching concecutive passes one handed, with DBs all over him. He has been practicing with Keenan Lewis (NFL corner), for a while now. People seriously don't get it.
Rashard Robinson last year, was in Florida practing with Peterson and locking down NFL WRs. He came late to the season (days before the first game), got his first start against Mike Evans, and held him to 3 catches for 13 yards. Guy was a pencil then.
The ones willing to put in the extra hard work, will benefit immediately.
ETA: who says Jennings/Harris had to be great? Dupre is 6'3 with a 42.5 vertical and a sub 4.6 40 with hands of glue. Chuck up the deuce, and he'll come down with it. Did you not watch the Under Armour game?
