Tinker:
Who is your favorite SEC college football team Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, LSU. Or does your school wear the colors of the Cardinal Red, Navy Blue of the Ole Miss Rebels. Or the Garnet & Black of South Carolina Gamecocks. Did you father and grandfather and now you, follow the Cardinal & White of the Arkansas Razorbacks?
How about the Red & Black of the Georgia Bulldogs, talking about the bulldogs, how about Maroon & White of Mississippi State. Or the Black & Gold of the Vanderbilt Commodores?
The Kentucky Wildcats dress in Blue & White how about the new guys on the block Texas A&M Aggies, Maroon and White, and the Missouri Mizzou are black and gold.
Spring time football practice is just now beginning for all our favorite SEC college football team. My excitement is trying to get out of hand on me because I feel like the purple and gold of the LSU fighting tigers are coming together like gangbusters in my mind's eye. I keep seeing the better talented LSU recruits becoming a gathering storm that is simply waiting for the right moment to release the fury. I have put the magic dots together and they keep forming a picture of another very good outstanding LSU college football team in 2013.
The details of my magic LSU football picture add up to #33 Jeremy Hill running behind a strong and hungry offensive lineman blocking aside the other guy. And ether Hill going the distance, or that he relentlessly moves the football down the field. But the coup de grâce becomes complete because I do believe that coach Cam Cameron is going to help Zach to catch on to becoming a much better college QB. Becoming efficient at playing quarterback.
That LSU defensive coordinator coach John Chavis is going to start building the high quality talented defensive LSU football players into a stone wall of aggressive stopping ability. Giving LSU the high grown once again inside tiger stadium. The anticipation of the reported 4.3 guys running back a kickoff, or punt return, is making me become even more impatient then I have ever been. I really don't feel like "if only" or "shoulder, woulder, coulder." And I don't have the fear of Les Miles making a bad judgement call ether. No I feel secure in knowing that LSU does indeed have a skillful enough coaching staff to hang with the best of them now. Cam Cameron seem to have cast away the ghost of my past fears in LSU Les Miles coaching ability, because of his hire I feel free of that doubt.
I am surprising myself because I am not complaining about losing the runaway 11 into the NFL, but instead, I really feel like looking forward. To watching a very talented LSU football team playing better college football games against the rest of the SEC college football team in 2013. My favorite football team LSU is going to be hell to play in 2013.

Dandy Don'y LSU Sports Report
Yesterday I headed out to LSU’s first spring football practice of the season and was very encouraged by what I saw. I've attended a handful of practices over the last two springs and can tell you that the offensive drills in this one seemed different with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron out there. The pace of practice was faster, and there seemed to be more instruction/teaching than I’ve noticed before, particularly with the quarterbacks. On one occasion, I heard Coach Cameron telling Zach Mettenberger something like, “I know you used to do it that way, but...,” and on several occasions he pushed the players to pick up the pace, shouting, “the ball should already be snapped!” He clearly had the offense’s attention and respect.
Here are a few things I observed in the few minutes we were allowed to watch:
• RB Alfred Blue was wearing the green no-contact jersey, but wore no brace and seemed to be fine.
• WR Travin Dural was wearing an ordinary white jersey, without a knee brace, and seemed to be fine as well.
• DE Jordan Allen, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, wore a green no-contact jersey.
• I didn’t see center Elliot Porter out there. Ethan Pocic and Josh Williford were snapping the ball.
• Zach Mettenberger was clearly the most polished QB out there.
• Newcomer QBs Anthony Jennings and Hayden Rettig both threw the ball well.
• QB Stephen Rivers looks taller than before and is listed in the latest roster as 6'8".
• OL Fehoko Fanaika is a big man. Maybe even a little too big. The roster lists him at 6'6", 340, but he could be heavier.
• Early enrollee WR John Diarse passes the eyeball test and looks like someone who could contribute early.
Between the note taking and the moving from station to station to keep up with the pace of practice, I wasn't able to shoot much video, but I did put together a few very brief snippets just to give a feel for what it was like. You can check out my rough, 1-minute video here. The Tigers will practice again today and tomorrow and then will resume three-a-week practices next week.
In basketball news, the Tigers hung on to win a nail-biter against Georgia, 68-63, to advance to today’s SEC Tournament semifinals. LSU played about as well as they have all season in the first half and led by as many as 23 points before taking a 20-point lead into the break. In the second half, the Bulldogs gave the Tigers all they could handle and LSU needed every bit of their 20-point first half cushion to hold on.
Shavon Coleman had his best game ever as a Tiger and led the team in scoring with 24 points. He also came through with a big defensive stop in the final minute when he forced Georgia's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (who ended with 32 points in the game) to miss a long 3-pointer with LSU leading 66-63. Andre Stringer then iced the game for the Tigers with a pair of clutch free throws. Stringer ended with 16 points while Johnny O’Bryant scored 12 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season.
With the win, the No. 9 seed Tigers (19-11) advanced to play the No. 1 seed Florida at noon today in a game that will be televised by ESPNU.
Not only is today a huge day in LSU basketball, it's also a big day in baseball as the Tigers begin their first SEC series of the season tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Mississippi State. LSU enters the contest 16-1 and ranked No. 2 in the nation, while Mississippi State is 18-2 and ranked No. 8. Coach Mainieri has said that LSU sophomore right-hander Aaron Nola (2-0, 2.77 ERA) will get the start in tonight’s game, followed by junior right-hander Ryan Eades (3-0, 1.80) on Saturday and sophomore left-hander Cody Glenn (3-0, 0.73) on Sunday. Mississippi State will counter with sophomore left-hander Jacob Lindgren (2-0, 0.96), junior right-hander Evan Mitchell (0-0, 2.30) and senior right-hander Kendall Graveman (1-1, 2.61).
Today's baseball game will not be televised, but can be heard on the affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network (98.1 FM in Baton Rouge). Those of you who use Twitter can keep up with the action by following @DandyDonLSU on Twitter as I'll be tweeting occasional comments and score updates. Tomorrow's game starts at 6 p.m. and will be televised live on Cox Sports Television and Comcast Sports Southeast. Sunday's game begins at 1:30 p.m. and will not be televised, but can be seen on ESPN3.com.
Lastly, I'd like to point out that I've updated our Ticket Exchange page and our Crawfish Boils page. Later this weekend I will update our football roster and depth chart to include the latest heights/weights/jersey numbers with information provided by LSU at yesterday's practice.

2013 LSU Football Spring Practice Report: Day One
March 14, 2013 - © 2013 Tiger Rag|
Cameron ups the tempo for offense
Offensive Report
By HUNT PALMER
BBI Senior Writer
It was an awesome afternoon out of the ponderosa, made even better by the fact that the Tigers were back on the practice field for spring workouts. The team wore helmets and shorts, no shoulder pads for the opening workout of the spring.
I’ve been on record as saying that I wasn’t totally convinced that Cam Cameron was going to change the way things were done, but I took a step in that direction today. Cameron was far more vocal than I’ve heard on offensive coach. He demanded tempo and coached every move the quarterbacks made. They ran a drill where three QBs were under center and all fired to a wide receiver. After the throw, the QB’s moved one center to the right and repeated the drill. Cameron constantly barked, “the ball should already be snapped!” He wanted the drill to be run more quickly. Cameron leaned on Zach Mettenberger to advance the young kids.
On the throws, Mettenberger was clearly the sharpest of the six QBs (Rivers, Bolden, Rettig, Jennings and Kragthorpe). It looks to me like Stephen Rivers has raised his arm slot a bit.
On to the two freshmen. Rettig has a really nice frame. He looks all of 6-foot-4. He’s got a strong arm with a bit of a long release. Jennings looks more fluid throwing the ball, and he’s also got a really nice arm. In the little bit of throwing I watched, both appear to have the arm talent needed to be a good quarterback at this level. They are VERY green in terms of how a practice runs. They’ll catch on. I thought it was funny that Rettig’s first handoff of the session was botched because he didn’t get out there fast enough. It’s a different game up here, buddy.
At receiver, Avery Peterson, Jon Diarse and Travin Dural (kind of) were the new faces out there. The highlight of the day was Peterson skying to haul in a fade route that looked destined for the turf beyond him. It was a really athletic play by the youngster. He looks about 6′2″ compared to Jarvis Landry. He’s still a little bit thin, but can add weight. Diarse already looks the part physically. I believe he’s 200 lbs. He’s still learning how to run routes, but he’s a good enough athlete to do it. Dural was running well and looks fluid in every drill. Like Peterson, he’s still a bit thin, but they’ve got time to hit the weights.
Nothing too major to report on the Landry’s, Beckham’s, Boone’s and Wrights. All looked good.
At tight end, Logan Stokes will have no problem blocking. He looks great, plenty of size.
On the offensive line, Elliot Porter was nowhere to be found. I found it interesting that Josh Williford and Ethan Pocic were snapping the ball. Pocic is as tall as Williford and Jonah Austin. He’s not as filled out yet, but he’s going to be an impressive specimen in short order. Les Miles was hanging out with this group as he and Stud coached them up. Fohoko Fanaika is a large man.
At running back, Alfred Blue donned a green jersey. He was running very well, leading the group, in fact. Hill and Hilliard are just huge backs. I don’t think they’re overweight or out of shape. I just think they’re big dudes. Terrence Magee may be a tad overweight. Maybe that’s how he always looks, but he looked think.
Defensive Report
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor
Several new faces dotted the Tigers’ defense on day one of spring practice Thursday, as LSU is faced with the difficult challenge of replacing some cornerstones from 2012.
Be that as it may, the untested players looked similar to some of the studs that will be calling NFL training camp home this August. Playing without pads, the defense was putting its speed on display in the individual drills open to the media.
Keep in mind that this was day one, and that the freshmen who did not enroll early will get their chance to make their stamp when they start fall camp, but here was how the LSU defense stacked up when running a team pick-six drill.
First team:
- Safeties: junior Ronald Martin and senior Craig Loston.
- Defensive backs: sophomores Jalen Mills and Jalen Collins
- Linebackers: seniors Lamin Barrow and Tahj Jones (outside) and junior D.J. Welter
- Defensive Ends: sophomore Danielle Hunter, junior Jermauria Rasco
- Defensive Tackles: juniors Ego Ferguson and Anthony Johnson
- Safeties: sophomores Jerqwinick Sandolph, Micah Eugene and Corey Thompson
- Defensive backs: redshirt freshmen Dwayne Thomas and Derrick Raymond.
- Linebackers: sophomores Kwon Alexander, Deion Jones and Lamar Louis
- Defensive linemen: sophomore Mickey Johnson, junior Jordan Allen
PLAYING WITH BLINDERS
LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond had his unit strap wide pieces of black tape to either side of their facemasks during individual drills, apparently in order to force the players to turn their head rather than use their peripheral vision.
It was obviously a new drill, as several players started joking with the coach that he was treating them like horses.
OTHER NOTES
Allen, who missed all but one game last season with a knee injury, wore a green non-contact uniform for practice … redshirt freshman defensive back Kavahra Holmes wore what looked to be a soft cast on his left hand … Without pads on, Anthony Johnson showed exactly why he’s nicknamed ‘Freak.’ He looked like he had an NFL ready body, his physique standing out among the other defensive linemen … Rasco and Hunter fit the mold LSU has used in recent seasons with lighter, faster defensive ends.

Welcome to the Film Study from LSU's 25-24 loss to Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. What a mess!
I know it's two months late and you've all been dying to rehash it but these things are sometimes best viewed in retrospect - emphasis on the retro. Juxtaposed with the start of spring practice, it will serve as a reminder of how much work there is to do for the Tigers, especially replacing eight defensive starters, and why Cam Cameron was hired as offensive coordinator.
I would say LSU set a new standard for offensive haplessness with 219 yards on 48 offensive snaps to 445 yards on 100 plays for Clemson. But then there was that little game the previous year, 92 yards gained on 44 plays in a 21-0 BCS championship game loss to Alabama.
As bad as LSU was on offense, Clemson still needed a fourth-and-16 conversion and a field goal on the last play to win. There were more LSU missed opportunities to win the game left on the field than pieces of confetti after Clemson's Chandler Catanzaro's 37-yard field goal.
LSU's defense played very well but got almost no help from an offense that regressed significantly after appearing to have improved in the final stretch of the regular season. They allowed 445 yards but stopped Clemson the first three times it had the ball in the second half. Clemson ran 34 plays in the fourth quarter against a gassed Tiger defense.
With quarterback Zach Mettenberger sacked six times, there was no chemistry with the receivers and no offensive rhythm. LSU was afraid to run the ball, toting it one time in six fourth-quarter plays.
That makes two consecutive post-season stink bombs LSU has set off, but that was Alabama and this was Clemson. LSU was cowed into not believing enough in its running game to try and get two yards in two tries with the game on the line.
Player of ¾ths of the Game
Jeremy Hill, who rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.
Jeremy Hill scored an early touchdown to get LSU started out right.
Chris Granger, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
Hill was strong from the start. He ran hard and fast against a Clemson defense constantly stacking the box. He burned them with some nice footwork on LSU's second offensive play, his 17-yard touchdown run.
LSU caught Clemson adjusting with a quick snap and pitch to Hill running to the short side of the field. He sidestepped LB Spencer Shuey, who came through and had a clear shot in the backfield. Then he sliced ahead between blocks by Vadal Alexander, who shoved DE Malliciah Goodman to the outside, and Trai Turner, who sealed LB Jonathan Willard inside. Hill used his left arm to push off Turner's back and cut upfield.
With so many players up close to the line, Hill was by himself when he reached the second level. Safety Jonathan Meeks had a chance coming from the backside but Josh Dworaczyk picked him off and Hill was home free.
Offensive play of the game
Hill's 57-yard touchdown on the first play of the second half.
This play should have finished Clemson, especially since the LSU defense followed it with two three-and-outs and a fumble recovery. Instead it was LSU's last touchdown.
LSU had two wide receivers to the left and tight end Chase Clement lined up to the short side on the right. Hill took the handoff on an isolation play, started to the right and cut back to the left through a clean hole set by La'el Collins and C P.J. Lonergan. LB Quandon Christian was coming hard off the left corner but Dworaczyk pushed him in the opposite direction as Hill ran by.
Safety Rashard Hall came up but Hill had plenty of room to change direction, angling to the right and then stiff-arming him at the 45 and it was a footrace Hill was not going to lose.
Defensive play of the game
Forced fumble by Barkevious Mingo recovered by Craig Loston to set up LSU's first touchdown.
This play was a total disaster for Clemson, not only leading to LSU's points but one of their top players, wide receiver and the ball carrier, Sammie Watkins, was injured on the play and did not return.
Watkins motioned from the offensive right side into the backfield and took the handoff from Tajh Boyd. Watkins appeared startled by how quickly Mingo got there and didn't get a firm hold on the ball. Mingo blew right past guard David Beasley pulling from the opposite side and knocked the ball out of Watkins' hands.
Craig Loston's fumble recovery was set up by Barkevious Mingo.
Chris Granger, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
Special teams play of the game
Michael Ford's 48-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter.
Clemson had just kicked a field goal to make it 24-16 and Ford gave LSU the momentum right back. He fielded the kickoff 5 yards deep in the end zone and started straight upfield. Seth Fruge tried to block Shuey farther up the field and missed, but chased him and caught him in time to knock him out of Ford's way.
Ford ducked under Daniel Rodriguez, who was screened by Jarvis Landry, and ran into teammate Dillon Gordon momentarily, then used his speed to turn the corner on Meeks. Meeks continued to chase Ford and got a hand on his foot near midfield, causing Ford to cut inside into the arms of Xavier Brewer for the tackle.
Ouch play
Quarterback Zach Mettenberger might want to get out of bounds next time. As he scrambled out of the packet and ran up field, he appeared to let up near the sideline where LB Jonathan Willard unloaded on him. Mettenberger jumped up quickly and ran back to the opposite sideline.
Sack time
The LSU offensive line looked awful as Clemson rang up six sacks. Right tackle Vadal Alexander was responsible for 2.5, Trai Turner 1.5 and LG La'el Collins another half sack. FB J.C. Copeland completely whiffed on another and the other came when Mettenberger scrambled away from pressure.
Three of the sacks came in a span of four plays between LSU's second and third possessions and likely had an effect on Mettenberger. Malliciah Goodman got the first one when he split between Turner and Alexander on a third-down play.
On LSU's next snap, Goodman beat Alexander and DT Grady Jarrett blew past Collins. Two plays later with Clemson dropping nine into coverage and only Goodman and Corey Crawford rushing, Alexander was beaten again. Both Clemson players got there to force an intentional grounding call.
LSU's defense had five sacks and pushed Clemson's offensive line around but Boyd hurt them with some key scrambles and a quick, short passing game to neutralize the rush.
LSU had a one-play drive, two two-play drives, eight 3-and-outs, two six-play drives and one of eight - only three drives lasted more than three plays.
The Tigers punted nine times and had one drive end with a turnover. LSU called 29 pass plays but was able to get a pass off on only 23 of them as Mettenberger didn't even have time to run for his life. That means LSU had a 3-2 ratio of pass plays called to running plays. Something was wrong in the Les Miles universe.
Both teams rushed for 99 yards but LSU needed 25 carries and Clemson 50, for a 2.0 yards-per-carry average. Another excellent defensive performance wasted.
Quarterback report
The hot streak on which Mettenberger finished the season actually ended with the Ole Miss game. Arkansas was a struggle for him but in Atlanta, the junior quarterback looked shell-shocked and the sacks may have had something to do with it.
The worst, and most glaring, was on second-and-2 in the fourth quarter with LSU trying to secure the victory. Mettenberger rolled right and Landry was wide open for an easy first down running to the sideline. It's possible Mettenberger was distracted by Boone, who was also open farther down field running an out pattern behind Landry. At any rate the pass landed much closer to Boone and Landry threw up his hands in disgust.
After the game Mettenberger referred to it as his "one bad throw" but there were others. Most of his completions were short and officials missed at least two pass interference calls that caused a couple of others.
He made a handful of nice throws, including a well-placed effort on a bootleg play after faking a handoff to the left. Mettenberger rolled to the right and lofted a ball over the head of Quandan Christian's head and between two other defenders to Landry for 17 yards.
Six plays later, Mettenberger made another outside shoulder throw to Landry for a 6-yard touchdown, slightly reminiscent of his touchdown throw against Alabama. Instead of a fade pattern, Landry ran a 'Z' pattern to the sideline and Mettenberger's throw was to the outside, away from the defender.
The biggest pass play was a 26-yarder to Beckham. Clemson had nine in the box and Mettenberger stepped up in the pocket while waiting for Beckham to clear the last defender over the middle. He delivered the ball just has he was hit by Goodman.
On the next play, he made an ugly throw that resulted in an interception. He looked left and then went back to the right and but threw the pass behind Landry and Travis Blanks intercepted.
Mettenberger was inaccurate with his deep passes all season and missed another as Boone was open in single coverage on a post. But Mettenberger threw the ball out of his reach, too deep and too far to the left. The ball went off Boone's hands after a diving try.

practices, which will culminate with the Spring Game Saturday April 20
at 2:00 p.m. in Death Valley.
In his evaluation from last season to now, Coach Miles talked about
some of the things he wants to accomplish in the next 15 days of
practice.
"Developing the team, the depth, the mindset of a very, very strong
football team....Look for some young guys to improve, find out who the
elite players are, and find ways to get them to make plays for us.
I asked Coach if it would it be fair to say that this is the time of
year, maybe you see some guys who, for whatever reason, didn't get a lot
of playing time last year, if this is now the time for those players to
step up.
"I think we're fortunate. I think that young guys who come to school
here really do that with the anticipation that they'll get an
opportunity to play," Miles told me. "I think there's some young guys
in the perimeter right now that are looking forward to playing a lot of
spring football to identify, maybe for the first time, that they can be a
starter and a dominant player in our conference."

I asked Coach Miles just how physical it actually gets in Spring Practice.
"The reality is, they never really kill a guy like they could in the
fall...Sometimes in the fall of the year, the contacts are much more
significant. But, we do hit, and we want to develop a physical
component of our team. I think if somebody says we're the most physical
team they've played, I think that's a compliment to us...and I think
that will continue."
Coach Miles also agreed that the Spring Practice time is when leaders emerge on a team.
"Absolutely. In fact, we've invited, by vote, by position, guys who
must step up and lead...Our team has always been led by quality, quality
men that have decided to pay a tremendous price to play LSU football.
Really, just yesterday, we assembled that room for the first time in the
seating chart, in the right order, where the leaders sit. And it
looked like a pretty strong room."
As for the adjustment to newly-hired Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron,
a guy who's well-known and respected, Coach Miles says it's gone
great.
"He's been a lot of fun. I think our staff and players really enjoy
that he's a part of us. He's transition's been very smooth, and I just
know there's going to be a great effect on our offense."
When I asked if there was one position where LSU needs to build some
depth, Miles responded by saying there are actually two areas that he's
focusing on.
"We're going to need a quality group in the secondary. There will be
some quality safeties there that can step forward and play...but they
need to have that style of spring. And, our offensive line...we're
moving guys around. Those two spots really need to mature...and I think
they will. They're good young players."

will conclude the spring April 20 with their annual National L Club
spring game at 3 p.m. ET in Tiger Stadium.
What’s new: Cam Cameron steps in as LSU’s offensive coordinator after spending part of last season in that role with the Baltimore Ravens. Cameron replaces Greg Studrawa as LSU’s play-caller on offense and will also coach the quarterbacks. Studrawa remains on staff and will coach the offensive line. Steve Kragthorpe will move into an administrative role after coaching the LSU quarterbacks the previous two seasons.
On the mend: Reserve quarterback Rob Bolden (knee) and defensive end Justin Maclin will both miss the spring while recovering from injuries.
On the move: Junior La’el Collins will get first shot at left tackle this spring after starting all last season at left guard. Senior Josh Williford will shift from right guard to left guard. Junior Terrence Magee is moving back to running back after playing receiver last season and catching just one pass.

Question marks: The Tigers are replacing five of their top seven defensive linemen. Junior tackles Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson and junior end Jermauria Rasco need to take that next step and become every-down forces up front. Head coach Les Miles said sophomore tackle Mickey Johnson
has lost weight and had a promising offseason. Playing with more
consistency at receiver will also be important. The Tigers had too many
dropped passes last season and didn't make a lot happen down the field. Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry will be counted on to make big moves as juniors. LSU also has to find a new place-kicker and punter. Sophomore Jamie Keehn heads into the spring as the punter, while junior James Hairston will have to hold off redshirt freshman walk-on Colby Delahoussaye for the starting place-kicking job.
New faces: Junior-college newcomer Logan Stokes will battle for a starting job at tight end, while junior-college newcomer Fehoko Fanaika could factor in at offensive guard. At receiver, redshirt freshman Travin Dural will be one to watch after injuring his knee last season along with a pair of early enrollees -- Avery Peterson (Patrick Peterson’s younger brother) and John Diarse. Two more true freshmen, Anthony Jennings and Hayden Rettig, will be among a handful of players vying for the backup quarterback job. The Tigers have a total of six true freshmen on campus who will be going through spring practice as early enrollees. Redshirt freshman Dwayne Thomas is a prime candidate to be the Tigers’ third cornerback on passing downs.
Breaking out: In reality, senior linebacker Lamin Barrow has already broken out. He had 104 total tackles last season, but was overshadowed by Kevin Minter. With Minter leaving early for the NFL draft, Barrow will move this spring from weakside linebacker to Minter’s middle-linebacker spot. The 6-foot-2, 232-pound Barrow has everything it takes to become an All-SEC performer. If he sticks in the middle, it just makes the Tigers that much deeper at linebacker. Talented sophomores Kwon Alexander, Deion Jones and Lamar Louis can all play on the outside along with senior Tahj Jones, who returns after missing all but one game last season for academic reasons.
Don’t forget about: Senior running back Alfred Blue returns to give the Tigers one of the deepest backfields in the league. He injured his knee in the third game last season and was No. 2 in the SEC in rushing at the time. The 6-2, 220-pound Blue has excellent speed and also catches the ball well out of the backfield. He’ll team with sophomore Jeremy Hill to give LSU a dynamite one-two punch. The 6-2, 235-pound Hill had four 100-yard games as a true freshman and led the Tigers in rushing. Following a splendid freshman season, Kenny Hilliard was the forgotten man last season. He’ll be looking to regain his form this spring, while Magee will add some speed to the Tigers’ backfield.
All eyes on: Now that senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger has a season as a starter in the SEC under his belt, can he capitalize on the improvement he showed toward the end of last season? In particular, Miles wants to see Mettenberger get better at throwing the deep ball and understand all of the throws better. Mettenberger struggled early last season, but he didn’t get a lot of help from his receivers. The best news for Mettenberger was the hiring of a veteran offensive coordinator like Cameron, who’s tutored a ton of quality quarterbacks. There’s no question that LSU has to be more consistent on offense if it’s going to return to the SEC championship picture. How much Mettenberger improves from his junior to senior season will go a long way toward determining whether the Tigers will be a part of that equation.

LSU spring opening: 5 things we learned
March, 13, 2013
By
Gary Laney | ESPN.com
It looked, however, like it might have been something else, like a symbolic black eye that came from a jab thrown by Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, or from a hook fired by a couple of surprisingly early departures from his team to the NFL, part of a whopping 13 NFL departures after a 10-3 season.
At any rate, Miles looked ready to put the pink eye, and any symbolic black eye, behind him as LSU begins drills on Thursday.
Here is what we learned from Miles on Wednesday:
[+] Enlarge
Patrick Green/Icon SMILa'el Collins might see some shuffling along the offensive line this spring.
Patrick Green/Icon SMILa'el Collins might see some shuffling along the offensive line this spring.Miles confirmed that Collins, now a junior, will get his chance to slide over to tackle, but added that redshirt freshman Jerald Hawkins will get a look at the position as well. If Hawkins proves to be the better tackle candidate, Collins would move back inside.
Miles said if Collins indeed wins the left tackle spot, senior Josh Williford would be the likely choice to start at left guard. Junior college transfer Fehoko Fanaika came to LSU at 370 pounds, Miles said, and is more likely to play on the right side, where Trai Turner returns as the starting guard, Miles said.
2. Lamin Barrow gets first shot at MLB: Miles also indicated that Barrow would get the first shot at the vacant starting middle linebacker role, a spot vacated by Kevin Minter's early NFL departure.
Miles said Barrow " can do the job outside," where he excelled with 107 tackles at weak-side linebacker last season. If one of LSU's six Class of 2012 linebacker recruits or another veteran -- Miles mentioned junior D.J. Welter -- steps up at middle linebacker, Barrow can easily move back to his weak side spot.
3. Bolden, Maclin out: Miles said quarterback Rob Bolden, who made news when he transferred from Penn State to LSU last summer following the NCAA fallout from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, will not participate in spring practice after undergoing knee surgery in the off-season.
Bolden redshirted during the 2012 season, learning the offense. He'll be a junior with two seasons of eligibility remaining. Miles said Zach Mettenberger's other three backups, sophomore Stephen Rivers and true freshmen Anthony Jennings and Hayden Rettig, will get plenty of repetitions this spring, including first-team reps.
Also, reserve defensive end Justin Maclin will miss spring because of injury, Miles said.
On the flip side, Miles said running back Alfred Blue, who missed most of last season with a broken ankle, will be available during spring practice and has been going full speed during LSU's off-season workouts. Defensive end Jordan Allen, who missed much of last season with a knee injury, will participate in the spring, Miles said, but may be limited during early workouts.
4. Anthony Johnson ready to lead: There are few units in college football that lost more talent than what LSU lost in the defensive line, where it lost all four starters, including a couple of potential first-round draft picks.
Miles said Johnson, the junior tackle who played starter-like snaps last season and had 10 tackles for loss, has embraced being the leader of the young group.
"He's a guy who has stepped forward (as a leader) for the defensive line, right through the (off-season) coaching sessions," Miles said. "He showed leadership right through those sessions."
Johnson, a former top-rated prep defensive tackle in the country coming out of high school, has had the luxury of being the talented youngster while older NFL prospects like Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery and Bennie Logan were the line's leaders. That luxury no longer exists with those three headed for the draft.
"It's a battlefield promotion," Miles said of the role Johnson inherits. "You've got to step into the fold here and go like hell. You've got to be able to lead. That's kind of what we said to Anthony and Anthony has natural leadership ability. If he wants, he'll be a great leader for quite some time."
5. Kicker spot open: A season ago, James Hairston handled kickoffs while senior Drew Alleman handled placement kicks.
Tht doesn't mean that with Alleman now departed, Hairston will automatically take over field goal and point-after duties.
Miles said Hairston will compete with walk-ons for the placement kick duties, specifically mentioning redshirt freshman Colby Delahoussaye. Another walk-on freshman, Trent Domingue, is also on the Tigers' spring roster.
Hariston will continue to handle kickoffs, Miles said. Sophomore Jamie Keehn will replace Brad Wing as the punter.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Yesterday Coach Les Miles kicked off the spring football session with a press conference and revealed a lot of good information. I've included the official transcript of the conference below, but first I'll quickly give you a dozen key points that I took away from it:
• La’El Collins will be given the first look at left tackle. Hawkins will get looks too.
• Terrance Magee will return to tailback.
• Lamin Barrow will be given the first look at MLB.
• Rob Bolden will miss spring due to injury, as will Justin Maclin.
• QBs mentioned in this order: Mettenberger, Rivers, Jennings, Rettig.
• RBs mentioned in this order: Hill, Blue, Hilliard and Magee.
• Hairston will be the kicker but will have competition from Delahoussaye and others for PAT/FGs
• Secondary, O-Line and TE among areas of focus this spring.
• Barrow, Johnson, Williford, Mettenberger mentioned as team leaders.
• Having Coach Studrawa on the sidelines and focused on the O-Line will make the team better.
• Alfred Blue is back at 100% and ready for a big year.
• Miles said he is excited about having Travin Dural back from injury.
Another interesting point from the conference is that Coach Miles said he was unaware of LSU signee Rickey Jefferson's arrest. What makes this even more interesting is that the arrest took place four days before National Signing Day. Stay tuned; it could be interesting to see how this story plays out.
Below is the transcript of the conference as provided by LSU's Sports Information Department. Tomorrow I”ll have a report for you on what I see in this afternoon’s practice.
Opening Statement…
“First of all, I would like to congratulate Nikki Caldwell. In her first two seasons, two NCAA opportunities, again, women’s basketball is in good position. It’s been a tremendous first year for coach Johnny Jones. He has those guys playing. It is very obvious that they are recruiting well and that the future is very strong in men’s basketball. As we go into spring, it is an opportunity to improve our team, but also some young guys for 15 practices will get real strong on fundamentals. The opportunity for us to take a team that has the right mindset and understands that culture of our team room, but frankly a need to develop dominant and elite players. We’ll practice as we always have. We will pursue it in a very similar fashion, but we will look to identify those guys that can be elite players. We lost 13 three and outs. It is a really positive thing. I don’t think there will be a number like that in the future, but it is a strong statement that the Tigers come in, they get prepared and they have the opportunity in three years to further their football in the NFL. We tried to offset that with eight newcomers in January. With eight new guys already on campus, I think that will give us a very nice group of young guys. We can age our team by giving our freshman class a spring, and we will be in more of a groove in summer. When fall starts, again we will have a much improved group guys.

Miles, Tigers prepare for new football season
By Kirk Michelet
Coach Les Miles addressed the media Wednesday touching on the team's news offensive leader, the loss of several underclassmen, defense, recruiting and more.
LSU's offense has a new leader this year in Cam Cameron. He will need to jump start an offense that at times sputtered and at crucial times could not make the play needed to win a game.
Miles likes his new coordinator, saying, "Offensively, we add Cam Cameron at offensive coordinator and he has done a great job already. Just the approach of the offense and how we see ourselves, and in my opinion he will have great affect. Our two deep, I think we will have a lot of quality on the offensive line."
There may be some moving around on the offensive line. La'El Collins will work out at left tackle, Josh Williford will get some work at center, Trai Turner and Vadal Alexander will line up at their normal positions.
Zach Mettenberger start his second year at quarterback for LSU. The coach thinks this year Mettenberger will show improvement. "I think that anytime you are in the second year as a starter, your concepts are different. You look to the receiving core and you want to make them better. You look to the passing attack and want to make it better. He needs to be more patient with the deep ball. He needs to understand that some of his throws need to be better. We would expect that the leadership component and his ability to play better will show."
The Tiger running game will again be strong this year. Miles believes Jeremy Hill may become an "elite back", Alfred Blue "will be ready to go" and Kenny Hilliard has had a great off-season and "should have his opportunities."
Blocking for the trio of running backs will be J.C. Copeland and Connor Neighbors.
With the loss of stars like Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery, Eric Reid, Kevin Minter and Tharold Simon, the Tiger defense will need rebuilding on the defensive line, backfield and a leader in the middle. While young, there is a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball and more coming in this fall from a top 10 recruiting class.
The coach said it is a compliment to LSU's program when players leave to further their career in the NFL. "We lost 13 three and outs. It is a really positive thing," Miles said. "I don't think there will be a number like that in the future, but it is a strong statement that the Tigers come in, they get prepared and they have the opportunity in three years to further their football in the NFL."
"With eight new guys already on campus, I think that will give us a very nice group of young guys. We can age our team by giving our freshman class a spring, and we will be in more of a groove in summer. When fall starts, again we will have a much improved group guys."
Lamin Barrow will start spring practice at the middle linebacker spot, with Kwan Alexander, Tahj Jones, Lamar Louis and Deion Jones on the outside.
The arrest of Rickey Jefferson again started a new year off with a black cloud over the team. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's office arrested the younger brother of former quarterback Jordan Jefferson on February 2 and charged him with resisting arrest by violence, just four days before he signed a letter of intent to play for LSU.
Miles said he had no information on the arrest of the Destrehan signee before the news broke Tuesday night. At Wednesday's news conference Miles said "we'll have to trail behind and find out what's going on, but I'm really without information at this point."
LSU will have 15 practices before the Spring Game on April 20th at 2 p.m.
The Tigers start spring practice with the same goals they have each year and this year's ultimate goal is making it to Pasadena, CA.
