I blame the coach for playing the QB who doesn't know when to get rid of the football under pressure, when to pitch on the option and whom the coach doesn't have confidence in to throw downfield or open up the playbook. How's that?


Not really a good understanding. Better to take a sack than throwing a pick 6. And the problem on the option is not Jefferson....because when a guy isn't running that play well, you know what...you ditch the play. And the reason LSU doesn't throw downfield more is the OL is like a matador blocking unit... Ole!! How's that!!!!

Getting outside the pocket and throwing the ball away is better than taking a sack. When Jefferson makes the pitch BEFORE making the defender whose job is to force the pitch commits, he's not running the play correctly. And I don't know, how about mixing in play where you keep the tight end in or maybe both backs to block once in a while? Do you need to go back and take Remedial Football 101 all over again?

Jefferson takes a horrible angle when running the option. Instead of having space between him and the RB he is so close that one guy can tackle him and the RB. Thats why our option never works and Ive never understood it. Its one of the first plays you learn in the 5th grade!
