After Bama, where are all those supporting Miles' offensive philosophy?

We did all the right things:
Controlled the line of scrimmage.
Controlled possession.
Forced a turnover.
Kept Bama's offense on the sidelines.
Ran the ball.
Ran the ball.
Ran the ball.
Our opponent:
Took advantage of SHORT field situations.
Scored off an interception.
Scored after a failed squib punt.
Scored THROUGH THE AIR, exposing us with a D-level QB talent & an A-level wide out.
When the game was on the line, Bama was forced to throw and executed. Bama is a run-based, defensive oriented team. Those two monikers are our identity as well. The difference is, OUR passing/QB play/Receiving corp HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED and cannot execute.

Actually, a win by LSu would have been worse for the future because Miles would never abandon 70s style.

philosophy was good. execution was not. it's as simple as that.
when you have open receivers and you throw them shite passes or they drop easy completions, you can't fault the philosophy.

Right here.
The philosophy worked nearly perfectly last night. We controlled the line of scrimmage and time of possession, and our defense played great. If it weren't for a couple key drops, a couple questionable penalties, and mediocre QB play, we would've beaten the #5 team last night.
ETA: Although I do agree with this:

Philosophy is fine for the personel we have. You have to know your limitations and at QB we have many. How was his philosophy with Mett?

I don't like it, but Miles and the coaches see what capabilities are or aren't there every day in practice. Maybe they're running an offense that, in their minds, doesn't ask these kids to do something they can't. Either that or Miles head is forever stuck in the Big 10. 
ETA: got to start adding the fade to any spot on the field with the toss dive and the short side sweep as being one of the faves

Miles did not game plan for Quinn going into full dropsy derp mode.

Miles plays to keep it close going into the 4th
We kicked them until it counted then 3rd and Chavis showed up.
It was a replay of 2012 when AL scores twice in the last minute of both halves. Game was on the line then Chavis choked once again in the last minute and got punked in OT bad.

The philosophy of conservative-run based/strong defensive play is very sound. It probably works 70-80% of the time. But when you square up against another team on your level, who has a long history of excelling. You need that extra dimension.
We need a better coaching from Cameron and Adam Henry. A credible air game must be present. Something we can fall back on since we run 70%+ of the time, that remaining 30% has to be clutch.
Is it QB coaching? Recruiting? Philosophy of sticking a dual threat QB into a Pro style offense? Play calling when we decide to pass?

Philosophy was perfect and we were in position to win. I see no issue.

I think the philosophy fits the talent we have.
I question the "all-pass" OT strategy when the run worked the entire game before. Then again, minus one drop there and we would have had a first.

He still won't

Agreed AndyCBR....
It would be nice though if we had more production from the passing game throughout so that situation in OT had a more probable chance of success.

Some of our fanbase either have blinders on and are loyal to a fault or just plain naive. OUR OFFENSE SUCKS! We do not know how to use the passing game. Our receivers are blocking or running decoy routes 90% of the time. 4 and 5 star decoys. We have more punts than pass completions to a WR this year, THAT SUCKS.

No doubt.
I can't speak for everybody but for me that is the most frustrating thing for the future outlook. Not sure what will change that "fixes" the weak passing game.
Will Jennings improve enough or just plateau like JJ? It seems Harris isn't going to get the playing time to develop under CLM.

You think we should have thrown it MORE than 26 times?
Posted on 11/9/14 at 12:20 pm to marklsu
The problem is we only seem to have 2 pass playes, the fade and the streak down the sideline. It doesn't matter what down or distance, that's what you are going to get. I do not understand why we continue to call 20 yard pass plays on 3rd and 4 or 5. We never use the middle of the field and we rarely throw the ball on 1st down, we only throw it when we have to.
