Can Larry Smith stay in the pocket against LSU? Can the Vandy receivers get open?

Bobby Johnson said he planned to run the quarterback less this season. So what's with Larry Smith carrying 16 times against Western Carolina?

After the game, Larry said he ran a lot on passing plays because the receivers were covered. He sure didn't blame the offensive line.

Hmmm. So if the receivers were covered against the Catamounts, imagine what's gonna happen to them in Baton Rouge.

Which raises two questions:

Is Larry too eager to do what he did in high school, which was to take off running?

Or are his receivers — the big question mark on this team — really that inept?

Or maybe Larry and his receivers are just working out the kinks in their timing and they'll come around on Saturday.

Nobody doubts that our tight ends are talented, but how big a role will they play in Saturday's game?

What do you think?
