Story Archives: Mettenberger shines in first LSU scrimmage


Mettenberger shines in first LSU scrimmage
by LSU - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Quarterback Zach Mettenberger connected on 15-of-30 passes for 190 yards and two scores as top-ranked LSU went through its preseason scrimmage here Saturday indoors at the Charles McClendon Practice Facility.

Saturday's scrimmage, the first of three for the Tigers before the season opener, featured 80 snaps for the 1s and 2s and 25 plays for the 3s. LSU also spent time working different areas of special teams, including kickoff coverage and kickoff return as well as punt coverage and punt return.

LSU will take Sunday off before returning to practice on Monday when the team will have two workouts. LSU's next scrimmage is scheduled for Thursday in Tiger Stadium.

"The scrimmage is awfully important to the development of any team and I felt like we saw a lot of young guys in a bunch of different spots, and a new quarterback that's operating the business," Miles said following the workout. "We got a lot accomplished, but we are not ready to play a game. We were sloppy - we had two substitution penalties and several pass interferences. But, this is a perfect way to correct your team. This film will be studied by the players and coaches as we go forward."
