LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette described as baseless and false a WAFB-TV report that cast doubt on the status of quarterback Matt Flynn.
Sports director Steve Schneider of WAFB cited unnamed sources as telling the station ?it?s going to be hard for the senior quarterback to make it through the BCS title game against Ohio State with the injury he has.?
Bonnette disagreed after speaking with team doctor Brent Bankston after practice.
?It?s not accurate,? Bonnette said of WAFB?s report. ?Come game day, Matt Flynn will be as healthy as he?s been all year.?
Flynn missed LSU?s 21-14 victory Dec. 1 against Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game after suffering what teammates and staff described as a shoulder separation a week earlier against Arkansas.
Ryan Perrilloux played in Flynn?s absence and was voted Most Valuable Player.
Dauterive, who coached Perrilloux at East St. John, said Flynn looked good Wednesday.
?He threw some nice balls,? Dauterive said. ?I think they can take more chances with him now. They don?t have to hold him back, because if he gets bumped or banged up, Ryan can come in there and do his thing.
?Ryan showed on the big stage he could handle it.?
