some people don't get this. Washington would have fared better had their coaches not underestimated the pass rush. Arrogance got Priced smashed.
Props to UNT and Idaho coaches for going with the quick passes. It won't win you the game on it's own but will get you in position to hang around with a superior team for a couple quarters.

With 4 ints, 2 of which returned for touchdowns.
But, getting the ball out quickly is something other teams will try to negate our pass rushers. Kudos to Idaho for doing something effective on offense. The fact that 11% of their pass attempts were intercepted, and around 7% if their "completed" passes were returned for touchdowns by the other team is the price they paid for getting the ball out quickly.
Don't allow the productivity numbers - (Idaho QB was 23-36, for 174 yards respectable, if not for 4 INTS and no TDS, combined with our failure to sack him) - confuse the issue - we limited them to less than 5 yards per pass attempt, and 7.6 yards per completion, while at the same time shutting down their running game (and snagging 4 INTs including 2 pick sixes) - if the price for that is 0 sacks - we'll take it.
Ditto for the time of possession. It is an important stat, but not overriding the otherwise dominant performance shown by LSU.

I'll have to goive it to the Idaho QB, he was really good at getting rid of the ball under the gun.
Having said that, the lack of sacks thus far does have me concerned. The last time I can remember our D-line being so bad about getting to the QB was 09 which was a mediocre year by LSU standards.
