Chad, Heath, any other guys who have followed the Horns so far during practice: what is to make of the talk that Anderson and Hudson underperforming so far? Both guys were supposed to be with the first unit, and from what I’m reading Hudson may not make the 2 deep, and now Anderson is supposedly undersized and weak? I could be a glass half full kind of a guy, but there is no way I believe we are so deep those two are getting buried. Sure doesn’t seem to be a very positive sign for the line. I just hope it’s still real early and they get it figured out.

I wouldn’t put to much into practice reports as I think there is less good information that gets leaked under Herman. From what I can read between the lines though, I think in general the whole OL has improved with the addition of Coach Hand and they finally have some depth and experience.
Hudson is going to have to show me before I believe the hype. Something about him just seems off. I have no info on this but I’m not sure how much he’s into it. This is just watching his body language from the little I have seen from him. Again I can be way off on him and I hope I am. Hopefully he can be the player he was projected to be.
There are conflicting reports on Anderson, again I’m not sure how good their intel is. He’s a veteran guy that has the length to play tackle. I’m not expecting him to be an All-American but he has to be better than what Texas has ran out the last couple of years.
I’m optimistic on the OL because of Coach Hand and the depth that’s there.

Slew,
You may wanna go back and research Russell's CFB career. He was arguably one of the best QB's in LSU history. During his 2006 JR campaign, JM was the SEC offensive player of the week 3x's, and finished the season with a 68% completion rate. Russell was voted 1st team All SEC by the coaches and AP sports writers, one of only 2 QB's in LSU football history to receive that honor (Tommy Hodson is the other).
Flynn was very cerebral and made smart decisions by not turning the ball over under duress. FWIW, Flynn has 2 CFB NC rings, a SB ring, married Miss Louisiana and a Golden Girl, and played 9 seasons in the League.

Originally posted by Playa View PostKingsbury announced that the TTU starting QB role will be will decided by a triathlon of sorts. The events, Indian Leg wrestling, arm wrestling and a thumb war. Leg wrestling results will be weighted as a component of 10 because the QB’s ability to scramble for his life is twice as important as the QB’s ability to heave the ball downfield. Thumb war was weighted as a 3 because it gave KK and new OC Johns adequate time to pull a play from the hat on 3rd and long situations.
Here is to being rated 2nd to last in the Big12!

Flynn was a great game manager and won with less God given ability.
If you go back and look over time Lsu’s greatest QB’s were not the most athletic or highly recruited ones.

Don’t listen to the noise or read too much into practice intel, it’s all from “sources”.
This was mentioned as the 1's for last Saturdays scrimmage.

Yea, see Tech had an opportunity to do something like this, but we decided to put our dirty underwear back on that is full of skid marks from the past 5 seasons. Jimbo could have been wearing Scarlet and Black, but NOPE, not with Kirby in the seat.
