boo hoo?

That's ok. By the time we stomp (L)oser (S)tate (U)niversity in their own back yard, he'll be hittin' on all 8 cylinders!

Take that to the bank!

This is a non-story. He's a freshman playing a position that is loaded with talent. He obviously is not going to get the touches he needs to get into a rhythm, so yeah he is going to struggle.

If he wanted more than 12 touches in 2 games, he should not have gone to 'SC.

Hey Trojan...we both gotta get there first, but if LSU plays USC this weekend, we would hand you your ****. You know it too.

Oh and the play on LSU's abbreviation is old, over played, and I've heard it all my life from UT and Bama fans. Doesn't bother me m8.

LSU is for real, USC is hyped by media pimps every year, and LSU will have a hard time getting to the National Championship with the teams we have to play inner conference. You know we have 4 SEC teams in the "Power 16" rankings, and there are only two PAC-10 teams. LSU stomped #6 VATech in the ground, and you guys whip up on #14 Nebraska, and still get the higher power ranking. LOL...media pimps baby. Gotta love em.

He will be fine, I remember Reggie doing pretty much the same thing. It doesn't help that Sarkisian is a horrible playcaller and JD Booty is garbage.

Ahahah...Booty....where have I heard that name? OH yeah....the twin trouble making tandem at LSU during the DeNardo era.....any relation? :D

The whining RB will be fine, he'll get his touches.

Who cares? The horses in the Nebraska game were Moody and Washington and they were very productive.

Wait, college football is different from high school football and takes some time for some 18 year olds to adjust to? Say it ain't so!

Reggie Bush didnt get much playing time in his first year either but he turned out to be one of the greatest players in CF history. On the other hand I understand why LSU fans are downing him on this blog. USC went into their backyard and took the most valuable recruit in America, but dont feel bad LSU we did it to Texas too.

I saw Joe play HS ball, I saw what the highlight tapes don't show - I said it here first - predicted his injury - he should have stayed home and took a redshirt, and then maybe he could handle running in LSU's rotation. I hope for his sake that USC does not try riding that horse or he'll come up LAME.

Ummm...we have so much depth at running back I doubt we would have used him for a few years. Which is probably why he went somewhere else. He also appears to be a self centered whiner that is out to boost his own personal stats. Have fun with that....but I'm sure you're used to it.

Behind Keiland Williams and Jacob Hester I wouldn't call the L.S.U. running back situation deep. I mean you also got Holiday but at 5'6'' how much of a work horse he could be.

I respect the cockyness Fornacis but to say that you didn't need Joe McKnight is laughable. Miles definitely would have played him as a true freshman.

is anybody going to say he is better than noel devine again?

18 years old... a little more work and he'll be fine. LSU fans are so full of miles... I mean ****!

EJ >

I said "we wouldn't have used him for a few freaking years". Never did I say we didn't need him. Before you pop off at the mouth in reply to my post read the damn post first please.

Oh...and the USC Coach and team reminds me of the old Star Trek episode "Trouble with Tribbles", but I would hardly compare Pete to Captain Kirk...such would be blasphemy.

I'm a PAC 10 guy and you can take this to the bank USC will not beat LSU. They'll lose a classic that will be remembered forever. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

67-12... That's a 85% winning percentage... I think Pete knows what he's talking about!

Oh yah... LSU beat a weak #6 VT @ Home!

Fight On Trojans!

No, he's a bust. USC is madly overhyped; that's a terrible thing for a college football team with impressionable young athletes. Calling them a pro team is simply retarded.

I've heard Florida being compared to as the "USC of the East"; that's funny. Not only is Florida the most recent national champion, but they're nailing all the top recruits while a lot of the great USC recruits have bailed. Urban Meyer is also playing in a bigger spotlight with a more serious atmosphere.

I got news for you ever-passionate and loyal USC fans: Florida IS the new USC!!!

Do you idiots realize that LSU is playing the University of South Carolina this weekend? LSU and Southern Cal do not play each other this year (unless they meet in a bowl game, in which case, LSU would dominate).

wow,people making a judgment about a player 2 games into his freshmen season.......hmmm he should just quit since he didn't win the Heisman in 2 games. Give the kid a chance to play. They played a horrible Idaho team and an average Nebraska team. let the kid learn

Better yet,have all of the USC fans who think he is a bust tell him to transfer. Oklahoma will take him.. This kid will be a star in the very near future.
