There’s not going to be any questions of what we expect from him in his return. We expect Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.”Miles said the offense “answered the call” as the team broke camp. He said there were no turnovers in the scrimmage.Sophomore quarterback Jordan Jefferson led LSU’s four signal-callers with 150 yards on 11-of-14 passing with one 15-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver Brandon LaFell, who led the receiving corps with 74 yards on five catches.Miles said Jefferson grasped the offense and understands “specific guidelines” to be an adequate leader.”There’s nothing we’ve asked [Jefferson] to do that he’s not comfortable with,” Miles said. “He understands the offense so well that he’s able to correct any formation issues.”Freshman quarterback Russell Shepard played with both the first and second teams in the scrimmage and completed 3-of-4 passes for 73 yards, while leading all rushers with six carries for 60 yards.Fellow freshman Rueben Randle had four catches for 34 yards, and senior R.J. Jackson hauled in two receptions for 60 yards with a long of 53 yards. Junior Terrance Toliver recorded three receptions for 38 yards in the scrimmage.Miles said junior Richard Dugas is emerging as a reliable force at fullback after suffering a knee injury in the spring, and he is pleased with sophomore tight end DeAngelo Peterson’s blocking during camp.”Dugas has really shown on a regular basis he is a guy who can hold the load blocking in a two-back set,” Miles said. “DeAngelo Peterson’s ability to step in there and block the defensive ends is something we’re excited about.”Miles said the defense “had been ahead” throughout camp, and he cited the performances of senior linebacker Perry Riley, senior linebacker Harry Coleman and redshirt freshman defensive end Chase Clement. The three defenders combined for 14 tackles and four sacks.Josh Jasper ended the scrimmage with a 44-yard field goal. Miles said he has faith in the junior with the graduation of Colt David, the leading scorer in LSU history.”I have great confidence in Jasper,” Miles said. “I had that confidence early last year when Colt David hurt his ankle. I felt really comfortable with the idea we had a guy right there in position to kick. He understands the game and knows when to make an adjustment. I like him with me with the game on the line.”—-Contact Rachel Whittaker at [email protected]
