Everyone knows Dwayne Bowe. And Early Doucet was one of the nation's top prospects coming out of St. Martinville High School.

But Craig "Buster'' Davis is beginning to come into his own this season as a wide receiver.

"He played one of his stronger games (against Tulane) with the opportunities catching the ball and without,'' LSU coach Les Miles said today.

Miles lauded Davis for his "intensity from start to finish.''

Davis' ability to block could be as important as his ability to catch the football. Downfield blocking can be the difference between a modest gain and a big play.
