It's part of the picture. I stated in the OP that I found the numbers surprising.

I didn't.

The proper way to be a power football team is to be able to just ram it late.

People think running sets up the pass. That is false. The ABILITY to run sets up the pass. It does so because teams can't just come out in pass coverage. They have to set up to defend the run. Only a fricking tard looks at a team selling out to stop the run and doesn't think, "make em pay for that".

People felt Miles throwing it 42% of the time compared to 38% or so last year was proof of his stubbornness. Either it is or it isn't a significant difference.

Again. You are looking at full games without checking distribution.

He always averages more passes in games he loses due to starting off one dimensional.

Hell. LSU threw 51 passes against Ole Miss last year. Fewer than 20 in the first half and even then, not really until we fell behind bad.

This year was no different. He only threw a tiny bit more because in two of the games he HAD to. Look at the Wisky game. Yeah. We threw 21 passes but 14 were in the second half and over half those were in the 4th quarter.

Miles was literally fricking retarded when it came to understanding the VALUE a serious run threat is to your passing game.
