5 things to watch as Ragin' Cajuns head to camp

Per discussion last night, Molbert will be a back up. Insert Tovell if I remember correctly.

Alexander was out for the spring with his knee.

thanks for info
thought tovell was being moved to DE?

I don't think anyone really knows who will start and the starters will change throughout the season. I expect a big rotation back there.

Guys- if Nixon turns out to be buried on the web depth chart- any chance y'all see him moved to another position? He certainly has the size to play a number of spots on both sides of the ball.

So jalen Nixon is a RB now? Thoughts?

is this official, I know he played some RB at the spring game as well as QB.

according to someone above, he said foquier (or however you spell it lol) will be starting
so if true the starting LB's will be Anderson, Molbert, Foquier

With camp just getting underway, there is nobody that knows for sure if Fourquier will start or not, especially as a redshirt who doesn't have significant minutes or games under his belt like Anderson and even Molbert. I certainly hope that both Fourquier and Anderson play on the outside this year although I don't think that will be the case. I am also very curious to see what happens with Tig. I think he is made for a 3-4 type of setup which we will incorporate but he may also be looked at for the weekside OLB spot as well. I would think that nobody outside of Anderson is guaranteed anything right now

He was and in a 3-4 he will be technically playing an OLB as a rush linebacker in that scheme. I presume if we go the 4-3 route more often, he will be playing as a down lineman.

I don't think it was a RB actually but more of the wildcat type!!!

Don't get offended... I was only giving my opinion that no college football coach decides to play someone in direct response to a ticket sales (there's that "one more time" LOL) drive... and especially not Hud. I don't know who among us is "worried" about ticket sales... but I am very interested in how we do in that area. This year's home slate isn't going to take any credit for improving it. Greater overall interest in the program should. Most of us long term fans aren't football opponent snobs to the extent LSU is. I want to see us playing better opponents for a lot of reasons... but I believe in taking care of whoever, wherever, whenever... and if someone is a supposed "inferior opponent"... we should prove it.

Again, I'm not smarting you... but coaches get better ticket sales by other means than showcasing players that they think will entice specific fan demographics. They are way too concerned with what it takes to succeed on the field.

I hear what you are saying.

I was very happy to read this:

"Elijah has been the most impressive of the freshmen in camp this year," Hudspeth said. "He may be ready for the prime time this year."
