Campus Confidential

By Adam Abramson

It's obvious Ryan Perrilloux's ship was sinking in February. I addressed it. It's really a shame. Hopefully he goes to a smaller pond, refocuses and resurfaces again some day.

I love the move on Les Miles' part, and everyone at LSU should as well.

Had Perrilloux stayed, he would have officially become larger than the team, which is cancerous for a group that won the national title and lost a group of players including offensive leaders Matt Flynn, Jacob Hester and Early Doucet as well as Ali Highsmith, Glenn Dorsey, Chevis Jackson and Craig Steltz on defense.

With a new group of leaders comes a search for identity and the focus shouldn't be on a guy who was allowed to bend the rules.

But Miles knows this and that's why he made the right move.

What's the future hold for the quarterback position? Tough to say.

At first glance it's redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee and junior Andrew Hatch. Incoming freshman Jordan Jefferson could also make a push for playing time.

But if there's a dropoff from Perrilloux, the world isn't going to stop. Keiland Williams has more talent than he knows what to do with and he would gladly take more carries.

Brandon LaFell is one of the best young receivers in the country and can make plays no matter who's throwing to him.

The Tigers offense will be fine, but the program is much better off.
