Baton Rouge, LA - As LSU's Purple and Gold Game nears, the QB controversy on the Bayou has not yet cleared up. Tigers coach cjohnchavis went into spring practice unwilling to chose a starter between redshirt sophomore Zach Lee and sophomore Cameron Treangen.
Complicating the matter is the lack of reps for both players. Zach Lee, who spurned a $5 Million offer from the LA Dodgers, has missed several practices while pitching for the Tiger baseball team. However Treangen, who is the Tigers' leading returning passer, has been splitting time at WR, where he had 49 receptions for 1204 yards last season.
Treangen developed a cult following on campus after appearing in the Mississippi State game in the Tiger's all-white-is-alright uniforms, and scoring a rushing TD against the Bulldogs. Treangen was given the nickname "Cam-Train" after running over a Florida Gator defender for a touchdown the following week. Treangen, wears #18 because he is the most physical white guy on offense in the spirit of Jacob Hester and Richard Dickson. Tigers students have taken on the Sophomore as a psuedo-cult hero. One student has even created the "Cam-Can Dance," while others have taken the motto "Yes we Cam" and created homemade signs.
Coach cjohnchavis is mum on the subjected headed into the spring game, but has stated that Treangen will likely see some time at WR when Lee is a QB. "The loss of Randle and Shepard to the NFL really hurt us at wide receiver. We have Bryan Abrams coming in, but Cam is really the only guy at wideout with any big game experience."
