Jennings vs. Davis: UL's QB battle is on

[CrappDaddy]

Exactly what I was thinking. We had Davis and Weaver. And now Davis and Jennings. If one of those guys goes down (which happens almost every year), I think Hud wants to have another QB available to be the back up to the back up.

And Hud will give Nixon a package of plays because the guy was the starting QB most of the season last year and is a Senior. And he may not be worth a damn as a running back, who knows? So 3rd QB is what he is.

That said, I would bet that if Jennings or Davis is playing well, we won't see much of the Nixon short yardage package.

I would bet you'd be wrong. Neither Davis nor Jennings are built to plow through the line like Nixon. He'll have his role in the offense this season for sure.

Jennings is about 6'2 230 LB's right now...have you ever stood next to him in person?

I'm thinking Pick 6.

Both Davis and Jennings are very good runners. An option play works just as well as a QB draw. How many times we watched Broadway tuck it and run for the TD on the goal line?

There is no need for a goal line package for Nixon. The top 2 QBs are more than capable. If you need Nixon for his bulk and strength, there is a spot for him 3 feet behind the QB.

Whether or not they have a goal line or short yardage package for Nixon is of little consequence to me. However, if they decide to do this, I'm just saying they need to make sure it is varied a bit as only having run plays for him when he's in there is a waste of time. We have to be able to present the threat of the pass and big play that way to make him effective.

Two QB System

Translation: You don't really have a QB

LSU had two outstanding quarterbacks with Stokley and Screen. They've done it several times. Charlie Mac didn't want to get caught without an experienced QB.

Under your thinking maybe Davis again in 2017 is inexperienced.

I'm pretty sure that Jennings is every bit as big as Nixon. So you may lose that bet.

Jordan Davis is 6-3 prolly around 215 he is the biggest QB on the roster

[sportsfanatic21]

On the roster, Nixon is 6'2, 226. Davis is 6'3, 205, and Jennings is listed at 6'2, 216.

They're basically all the same size.

10 pound differences on Athletes is a lot...20lbs is a whole lot. If you stand them all next to each other they are all different sizes and you would think Jennings is the heaviest...from looking at them.

I hate to break it to you .. Schools lie on rosters about Size all the time

You aren't breaking anything to me...I saw them all standing next to each other.... Jennings is the biggest....he isn't 216...he is the thickest I should say.

Moral of the story, we have a couple of tall, fast, stout QB's. Good.

Yeah basically, none of the 3 are small...they are all heavier than our running backs
