Those guys were on point in the MSU-LSU game analysis. That game should have NEVER been that close. We'll all take 1-0 in the SEC, but that was ridiculous. It was painful to watch and should not have been. LM is scared to death of interceptions. I think his entire focus for an offense is to control the clock and avoid interceptions at all costs. That'll win 8 games but he's got the personnel to win 10 or 11.

LSU recievers could have had a field day if just a play action would have been mixed in on first down every now and then. This was more of the same. IT AIN'T CHANGING!

Maybe they'll surprise us, but this is crazy. That was a bottom tier secondary in the SEC and LSU refused to throw a forward pass in the second half when the plays were there.

Jarrett Lee scared him for sure, but I think with the way Harris played he'll take the handcuffs off quicker than usual.

Actually one of the guys had a little different take on Miles and I agreed more with it.

It's not so much fear of passing. It is that Miles' philosophy is we will control the line and use our rbs and defense to beat you. It works most of the time but is not the best situation.

We don't need to throw 40 times a game but I believe atleast 25 pass attempts a game would keep the defenses honest and we have the qb to do it.

Something else baffled me on the offensive side. In the second half, LSU went to a NO-huddle hurry up offense but was sitting on a 11 point lead at the half running a conservative offense. In other words, we were nursing an 11 point lead and running a fast paced offense. Wouldn't it make more sense to run the play clock down on every possession to end the game? Crazy!

Leave it at that. You guys complain when we don't run the ball enough and lose (Arkansas last year). Then you complain when we don't pass the ball enough and win. Give me a break.

Harris played well. Made smart decisions, used his feet very well. Harris will thrown an interception. It is part of the game and is unavoidable. You learn from it and move on.

I don't want anything crazy. But when there are 10 men fronts, just once I'd like to see us run PA or throw a slant. With 10 in the box, Harris completes that pass and the WR has one man to beat to the house.

Its not only that. Were it not for a bonehead delay penalty, State probably makes that field goal. We let the opportunity to win be controlled by the other team. We made poor halftime adjustments on both sides of the ball.

The generous interpretation might be that Les wanted to protect Harris in his first start o the road as leader of the 2015 offense, and that after he gets a good performance at home and in the next several games, he'll trust him more and open it up.

That's extremely defensible if this was a snapshot/one-time thing, but against the backdrop of Mile's track record since 2009 (2013 excepted) it is easy to understand why folks aren't buying that narrative.

With LF in the backfield not going for several play action in a series is purely stupid. If nothing else, it will make LF more effective.

Do you remember how open Dural was on the TD called back? Our WRs ran free like that most of the night while we crash the ball into a 9 man front.

Its called Les ball.
