Kelly Saturday Presser
Finally some good news. Jarrett Grace 6’3″ 250 lbs back in pads and practicing. While he will not play in Bowl Game, he should be a full go for 2015. So I would expect Schmidt & Grace inside with Morgan and Smith moving outside.
DT Sheldon Day expected to start along with Rochell moving inside – DE’s to be determined but probably Trumbetti and Blankenship.
QB duel still going on. I’m almost sure Kelly will play it safe and go with Golson, but think that would be a mistake. Golson is way too hyper and it would be best to let him watch awhile and calm down.
If you observed the body language of Zaire and Golson vs. USC Golson looked frazzled and defeated while Zaire looked confident and ready and gave an observable lift to the offense – start Zaire.
Out of the blue – Kelly said Frosh OT Alex Bars 6’6″ 305, one of the best he’s seen in 25 years. Huh, he’s just noticing him now.
2015 OL should look like this:
- LT – Bars
- LG – Quenton Nelson
- C – ??
- RG – Elmer
- RT – giant 6’7″ McGlinchy
Leaving Center open as I’m not sure Nick Martin strong enough.
LSU has been a just pound them offense and they don’t score a lot of points, and their main weakness is passing the ball. It’s quite possible that 31 points can beat them.
