Every time I said anything about Harris I said he is a great athlete with the ability to run... never said anything about him just being a passer. I said hes a pass 1st QB that has the ability to run, because thats what he is, but never said anything along the lines of Harris just being a pocket passer.

quote:
But my point was the offense changed the second half of the season because the play callin was different. You could tell Miles wanted to go back to running more like they are accustomed to and Cameron obliged him because Cameron wasn't power running like that early on. That's Miles' game, but I saw nothing wrong with what Cameron was doing early on in the season.

And you keep saying that our offense had a major change from the 1st half of the year to the 2nd half of the year... and we didnt pass it nearly as much and we ran the ball more...

Through the 1st 6 games of the season, Mett threw 157 pass attempts. The last 6 games of the season, SEC crunch time, he threw for 139pass attempts. And he missed the end of the Arky game so if you add the 7 attempts Jennings had, even though Im pretty sure Mett would have been throwing it more than he did, he would be at least at 146pass attempts.Rushing wise, we had 230attempts in the 1st 6 games of the season and 234attempts the 2nd half of the season.

The difference in passing attempts per game in the 2nd half from the 1st half was just 1.8pass attempts less per game, rushing attempts was just 0.6 attempts more per game. Not a big difference, especially when you consider the blowouts that occurred early on in the season. Not sure where this blatantly obvious offensive change occured...

quote:
But with weapons like you just mentioned they recruited and brought in. You would like to see an explosive offense utilize all that talent.

Yea... and running type of system that Auburn runs would not utilize that talent to the fullest. I mean you do realize LSU just became the 1st team in SEC history to have a QB go over 3,000yards passing, a RB go over 1,000 yards rushing, and 2 WRs go over 1,000 yards receiving....and set an LSU record for total yards per game at 453.3ypg. I would say thats a damn good job of utilizing the talent on the team.

yeah, I do realize the record yards they had last season. And that was because of Cameron. The passing yards for Beckham and Landry, a good portion came early on. Look as I said, brah I don't agree with you. I'm not gonna keep going tit for tat with you on this shite! If you don't think the philosophy changed in offense from early on in the season to going later on.

That's you! I'm not the only one on here that recognized that. Running the power I and smash mouth running is a Les Miles' staple, but a lot of people don't care for it. Auburn's spread attack isn't just used by them and it's not one dimensional like you wanna try to portray it out to be by sayin it's not balanced. Auburn does one thing really well when running it and that's run because their QB is a shite passer.

but you can do both run and pass real well in that type of offense especially with a great young player like Harris. shite, Hill could have run for a whole lot more yardage if some of that misdirection type stuff a spread employs had been used in LSU's offense because he would have caught a lot of teams of guard with it breaking off huge gains. And the passing out of it is just as effective. You can also catch them off guard. So, I have no ideal where you get the running or passing would suffer some if switched to that type of offense or players not be utilized to their fullest. That's crap! Big plays utilizing both RB's and WR's would come in chunks of yardage.
