I just got off the telephone will Chris Garrett, who talked about his decision to commit to LSU earlier today.</p>
Here's what the Tupelo quarterback had to say.</p>
(Was this one of the hardest decisions you've ever made?)
"By far. I'm always going to love Mississippi State. The hardest thing was telling Coach Croom, because we really had a good relationship. He handled it good, I thought. He didn't act mad about it, so I thought that was really good."</p>
(You'll be going to a program that's not in short supply of quarterbacks. Did you weigh that into your decision?)
"Yes sir. But you have to be confident in your own abilities and confident in what you can do. I just feel if I go down there, work as hard as I can, I'll start for them one day."</p>
(I'm sure you've had a few people already express an opinion or two about your decision)
"They have. But you know, I can't worry about what other people think or say or how they react. I have to do what's best for me. And what's best for me is playing at LSU."</p>
(Why the change of mind?)
"It was hard. But I went down there for Junior Day, and they took us around and showed us the campus, academic center and football facilities, and I was really impressed. I met most of the coaches and something about the place just stuck with me. And I loved it when I went back a few weeks ago. I sat in on a quarterback meeting and was really impressed with the direction of the offense. I came back home, prayed about it and knew it was where I wanted to be."</p> </div> </div> </div>
