Unproven LSU receiver group aiming to validate new coach's compliment

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU’s wide receivers aren’t deaf. They’ve no doubt heard the suggestions that they rank among the Tigers’ most unproven position groups.

They aren’t blind, either. They can look at a stat sheet and see that 48.5 percent of LSU’s receiving production over the past three seasons left with Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural at the end of last year.

However, they understandably prefer new offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s analysis that they are actually the nation’s top receiving corps -- a claim that Canada hollered at his quarterbacks when they were not connecting consistently enough with their wideouts at a recent practice.
