Inside Dish: Perrilloux causing a stir at LSU

By Matt Hayes - SportingNews

New LSU coach Les Miles already has had to rein in super quarterback recruit Ryan Perrilloux. Perrilloux has been boasting about winning the starting job next fall and says LSU's players don't believe in current quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn. If Russell--who had elbow surgery last month--is healthy for fall camp, Perrilloux doesn't have a chance to win the job. Russell is a big-time talent, and without the threat of graduated quarterback Marcus Randall hanging over his every mistake, he will flourish in coordinator Jimbo Fisher's scheme. . . .


San Diego State running back Lynell Hamilton is healthy for the first time in 15 months. He broke his ankle at the end of his freshman year, and the Aztecs struggled without him last season. If Hamilton returns to form--he was being compared to former SDSU star running back Marshall Faulk--the Aztecs could make a jump in the watered-down Mountain West Conference. . . .

North Texas won't push RB Patrick Cobbs (5-9, 205) early in spring practice because the staff wants him to gain confidence in the knee he injured last fall. The nation's leading rusher in 2003, Cobbs missed much of last season and watched freshman Jamario Thomas (5-11, 195) win the 2004 rushing title. The staff wants to find ways to play both at the same time, though neither has the size to play fullback. . . . Don't be sold on Southern California making it a cakewalk to the Rose Bowl, the national title game this season. The Trojans lost their offensive coordinator (Norm Chow), quarterbacks coach (Carl Smith) and defensive line coach (Ed Orgeron). And what were USC's strengths the past two seasons? The passing game and the defensive front.
