This is a 9-10 win team with the right play calling

Despite their youth, the talent on this offense is better than half of the schools in the SEC. We have 2 outstanding receivers with some solid guys behind them, a stable of great RBs, 2 great OTs, and average interior linemen. The difference between the offenses of LSU and Ole Miss, Alabama, UGA, MSU, and TAMU is quarterback play, and the difference is not in the talent of their QBs.
In A&M's first drive this year (on the road in a hostile environment with a QB in his first start), their first 2 plays were a swing pass out to the RB (gain of 7) and a quick WR screen (gain of 11). Yes A&M has a pass heavy offense, but these are 2 of the easiest passes in football and they let Kenny Hill settle into the game. In Alabama's first game this year they were breaking in their first year QB Blake Sims, and the first play was a WR screen that went for 25 yards. Their second play was a quick hitch that went for 6 yards.
LSU set Brandon Harris up to fail with their play calling in this game. 3rd and 7 on the first drive, and we run the ball? You may not need to throw the ball a ton to win games, but you always need to have the threat of a pass. That was a direct sign to Auburn that we do not trust Brandon Harris, and we have no intention to let him make any plays. When we finally threw the ball, it was to a WR on the opposite side of the field running a pretty deep route.
Don't tell me that what we are seeing is a result of attrition to the draft. Attrition to the draft would be a 38-28 loss @ Auburn. We have incompetent play callers and every team in the SEC can and will take advantage of it.
With our offense, Dan Mullen, Gus Malzahn, Hugh Freeze, and Kevin Sumlin would be having a field day.

Ok, now explain over 1100 yards given up in just 2 SEC games.
ETA: keep in mind that was w/ BOTH teams letting off the gas pedal before the 4th quarter.

Dural,Dupre, Quinn are all quality receivers. They had D Williams also before he bailed. That would have been 4 top receivers. The RB position is always loaded. You know that. The TE's aren't even used mostly even though they have quality TE's. The QB's(Jennings and Harris) are both capable QB's that are being used wrong. You put all that together and those other coaches you mentioned would be scoring at will on people.

Did you not watch the game at all last night?
We don't have a quarterback.

this is insane.
LSU ran the ball last night because Harris was in full panic mode and couldn't complete a pass for shite. and just how in the hell doesn't running the football set up a QB to fail? it doesn't make sense. THEY WERE TRYING TO SETTLE HIM DOWN. get something started. and we scored a touchdown setting up the long pass with the run.
then, for some inexplicably reason Harris went apeshit and was afraid of his shadow.
I am beginning to question his toughness.

obvious to anyone with even a speck of football sense.

Look I will explain it Barney for you, our QB's suck (how many years can JJ play) our OL sucks, LB's suck, our DL sucks and our secondary cant tackle! Our head coach is garbage and this season of 1-7 or possibly 0-8 in SEC will make it tough for the future! Brown paper bag?!

No, it isn't. Our defensive line is bad, and I don't want to hear about the "young pup" stuff.How about Spears, Hill, Dorsey, Brockers? They were all ready to play when they were young pups. We lack talent. Rasco and Hunter are at best average. We need to find some studs in the middle now. Hopefully, Valentine and Trey L are players.The great majority of our linebackers are not SEC players. Beckwith and Alexander are about the only legit backers that we have. I do like the secondary. Our O-line is very overrated.Our tight ends are not good. I do think our running backs and receivers are good. I think Harris can be a player and Jennings a capable backup.

This is a result of attrition to the draft.

No, no it's not the play calling it's the inexperience talent playing at key positions! Number 1 is at QB!This season will be a learning season for next year! Do Y'all remember Flynn to Bird with 10 seconds... but we scored ! Miles blew that play with 10 on the clock with two timeout..I know that play wouldn't have made a difference in the game .

Yeah........we're a 9 or 10 win team......if we substitute some HS games in for the remaining schedule......and the teams aren't too good....

Exactly.
8 at the least.

I disagree. There are personnel issues that play calling can't fix, and there is a simple lack of execution.
Our Oline is getting killed pass and run blocking.
Our defense is getting gashed nonstop.

Should have never been 3rd and 7, but I agree
That said Harris couldn't complete a screen pass for shite last night
