Regarding Les and the offense

You have to trust your QB to make plays and Miles refuses to do that except in rare cases like Mett. Harris's development will suffer because he is hardly ever allowed read defenses on his own and make short throws and throws over the middle. He is scared to death they're gonna throw a pick but what does it matter if you lose the game anyways because you're scared to take chances. You have to let your QBs make those throws and learn from their mistakes first hand. If not then eventually he's a senior that is still inexperienced because you refuse to let him take his lumps. The only way to learn is by experience and our QBs are denied that for the most part.

I have a specific memory of that season that explains this. Cameron came in, and they were letting it fly. They still weren't creative, but they were mixing it up more. Then I specifically remember before the Florida game, the announcers made it clear that they were told in meetings LSU was going back to Miles style of football.

Those guys were still talented enough to make plays, and Mett got hurt, but it never felt the same after that. They were running the same predictable crap, they just mixed it up early in the season, and had amazing skill position talent to overcome things.

Those wr's were covered a lot, and made great plays. Ask yourself why they were constantly having to make great plays while covered knowing what we know about how good they are in the NFL?

coming into the year LSU was a YOUNG team and no one thought they would compete for a title. But they beat Miss St and Florida and everyone jumped on the wagon and title or bust. They ended up being the team everyone thought they would be at first. They run to the strength all day and teams know the tendency's 100%.
