Offense is steadily improving.

maybe we should have used those rent-a-win games to give the qbs some practice learning how to scan the field.

The o-Line is playing much better

By far the biggest improvement on the team.

This offense is close, we just need the last piece of that puzzle.

Yep and that's for Harris to mature and develop. Once he does, look out.

I know I'll probably get flamed because many people on here think our offense is about as bad as junior high team. But honestly if anyone would watch the games we've played so far we are just so close to being explosive. We constantly have receivers open on every single play and they run beautiful routes. It's old news but if Jennings just had any sense of pocket presence and would scan the field our offense would be putting up huge numbers. Call me stupid or whatever you may please but the proof is on the game film. The o-Line is playing much better, the backs are picking up blocks much better we just need that one guy that will stay in the pocket, look at every receiver and not be afraid of taking a hit in the pocket. Mett was honestly one of the best at not being afraid of taking a hit and that's why we put up big numbers. Sure we had Jarvis and beckham but QB play was the main impact. This offense is close, we just need the last piece of that puzzle.

Can't disagree with anything you said but lets wait till we play a good ole miss defense to see how much we are improving.

I don't need game film

i watched the games

Its always locking on to the primary receiver. Never looking safteys of lbrs off.


Our offense improving ???? No


Perhaps just LSU run blocking is.

You have access to the coaches tape? I can't see receivers getting open on the broadcast because they only show the lines and follow the ball.

I would like to share your optimism but think having a short field was the only real difference.

scoring drivers were 29, 48, 53, 37, 64, and 53 yards plus the punt return.

UK had horrible field position all night with the exception of the second squib kick they actually recovered at the end of the first half.

Our QB completed passes (3) to one WR. He also completed passes the TE and different RB's. That is horrible.

McGee was able to break a few decent runs. But if LF was only able to avg 2.7 yards per carry against UK, I'm not sure the offense is as close as you think.

I would agree if you said Special Teams improved for UK. Beckwith's playing time and contributions were a HUGE improvement.

Hopefully Coach Miles and staff prove you to be correct.

I'm going to have to disagree a bit when it come to Jenning's "lack of pocket presence". If you watch the games you'll see that he's not afraid to stay in the pocket, or "climb" the pocket as the outside rushers close in (unlike Harris against AU). His biggest issue is like most inexperienced QBs he locks on to one primary receiver. If that guy isn't open, the play generally blows up. I imagine that (1) the coaches try to simplify things for both young QBs and give them only 1 or 2 reads to look at on a given play, and (2) He doesn't have the experience to trust himself to come off of his initial read and/or to let the ball go when he sees the guy is open. He wouldn't be the first young QB that has happened to.

A primary example was the wheel route to LF against UK that he threw away while Quinn and Dural looked to break open across the middle of the field. I would bet anything that that play was called specifically for LF, and that the coaches told Jennings to throw it away if it wasn't there. However, to me the UK was encouraging. Go back and watch some of the video. He hangs and maneuvers in he pocket pretty well. My biggest issue is that seemingly every pass route for LSU is deep and outside the hashes. Those are tough passes to consistently complete

Jennings is the problem. If he keeps playing, we will lose to ole miss and alabama easily
