LSU LB gives Ehlinger his due: 'Proved me wrong'

AUSTIN, Texas -- LSU linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson raised a few eyebrows last weekend when he was asked about playing against Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger in high school.

"I don't find him too much of a threat," Chaisson said. "That's not a shot at him. ... He uses his legs more than his arms"

On Saturday night, Ehlinger passed for a career-high 401 yards in the Tigers' 45-38 victory over the Longhorns, sixth-most in a game in Texas history. In doing so, he became the first quarterback to eclipse 400 passing yards against LSU since Geno Smith had 463 in 2011.
