It's supposed to be the battle of the titans in August camp.
On paper, the La'el Collins vs. Josh Dworaczyk battle for LSU's starting left guard spot is epic. Dworaczyk is the grizzled sixth-year senior with 26 career starts on two bowl teams. He is this year's comeback story after the NCAA gave him a sixth year after he was lost for 2011 with a knee injury. Collins is the player of the future, the No. 8 player in the 2011 ESPN150 who is ready to bring his enormous talents to the forefront as a first-time starter.
It's one of those where you throw the popcorn in the microwave, then sit down and enjoy the two going at each other for the starting job.
