re: Only 6 pass completions vs Bama

He actually completed 8 out of 19 passes. 2 of his 8 completions were to Alabama and his offensive lineman. 1/4 of completions. By all means les should listen to the rant and throw more! Lol

I think it's valid criticism that Les and the offensive staff should have thrown a little more with how little the running game was working. What needed to be done were shorter routes that would be easier to complete and could back the defense off of the LOS some. They were bringing safeties up close for run support and disguising it very well and LSU had no answer. Why didn't the staff try to use WR screens, quick slants, or screen passes that would counter some of this aggressiveness? The deep routes were tough to get completed because of the complete lack of protection from the OL.
