One point of emphasis for LSU during preseason camp will be to figure out which wideouts will be on the field with returning senior D.J. Chark. The Tigers have one other senior wideout in Russell Gage, and much of the rest of the receiver corp is made of inexperienced sophomores and freshmen.
In a spread offense installed by first-year coordinator Matt Canada -- his offense set school scoring records last season at Pitt -- those receivers will be expected to do more than simply catch passes.
"The thing about our receivers is we use so many shifts and motions that all of them will have to play," LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Sunday, one day before the opening of preseason camp.
