I can't wait to see what the "We didn't need to pass, they couldn't stop the run" retards have to say after this game.

This game will be a prime example of why you should continue to work on the things you struggle with in games that you are in control (i.e. Ole Miss)

Ive been saying this for years. LSU cant develop a passing attack because they dont try to develop a passing attack. They try a little bit, it has growing pains, the coaching staff panics, they immediately abandon it for the year.

I was hoping Canada would be the QB whisperer he was at his other stops but it appears hes fallen into the same trap as Less Smiles. "Do what you do best" is great and all but you also have to prepare for the future when you know for a fact that "what you do best" isnt going to work against certain opponents. You have to have a plan B and its seemed for years, even with Ens/CEO last year, that they were perfectly OK with accepting the conciliatory prize of "a close loss" to Saban. Fans are tired of accepting 2nd place to Saban and want the team to go down in a blaze of glory airing it out on every down and putting pressure on Sabans secondary. It doesnt have to work but you have to try. Its your only chance. No team has beaten Saban running the ball and even just the threat of a passing attack, even if it doesnt work, will keep those LBs and S/CBs from crashing the LOS and at least give you a little wiggle room for your running game or glimmer of hope to bust some runs for a big game.

Against Sabans D you have to pass to open up the run. Even if the passes are short or constantly incomplete.
