Along the trenches
Lloyd Cushenbury and freshman Cole Smith continue to work at the center position. Right guard Garrett Brumfield is also an option at center. Today he spent of chunk of practice mentoring the young lineman on alignment, assignment and technique.
First-year offensive line coach James Cregg was hollering at freshman tackle Cameron Wire during double-team and cut-block drills. Wire wasn't expected to practice due to a nagging injury, but on Saturday he told the trainers and Orgeron he was good to go.

Cornerback battle
Monday LSU All-American cornerback Greedy Williams said If they give Kristian Fulton his eligibility back, he'll be one of the top corners in college football.
Today defensive back coach Corey Raymond worked his DB's in this order.
(1) Greedy Williams and Kary Vincent
(2) Terrance Alexander and Kristian Fulton
(3) Jontre Kirklin and Kelvin Joseph
Coach Orgeron said Fulton will receive quality reps with the first and second-team until a decision is announced by the NCAA.
Kary Vincent also addressed the cornerback battle and said the buzz of who will play opposite Greedy isn't effecting the DB room.
"All of us competing, doing what coaches ask of us," Vincent said. "There's a lot of outside talk going on about who's gonna be this and be that. We're just going in everyday going off whatever install we have and we're just executing and competing at a high level."
