hmmmmm

I did think this on a few plays for sure

on the other hand, it seemed Cam was dialing up more pass plays....than normal in the first half

It's met with great want

Its amazing how you take Harris' 2 games to say he regressed for sure while you take a wait and see on Etling's 2 games.

Prior to this year, BH6 had 13 starts as an SEC qb.

Prior to this year, Etling had zero starts as an SEC qb. And he didn't play in any games last year.

How long does it take to mature as a quarterback?

You dont get the point.


Im not saying Harris is good or will be good. Im pointing out how 2 games for sure means Harris sucks this entire year while 2 games for etling isnt enough.

Already addressed Miles thought UW was. CF too early to get DE in. He didn't want that to be his intro.

Not bad reasoning I the grand scheme UW was a throw away game.

Sooo...we haven't opened up the secret playbook yet
I am just happy to see the passing game come to life. Hopefully the Offense improves a little more each week as the season progresses.
Can't believe I used offense and progress in the same sentence.

It's the same playbook...just running more of the plays in it...hard for some of you to understand that there is no sand in Tiger Stadium, just grass, hard to draw up plays for BH6 when there is no sand...besides, CLM prefers grass over sand...

P.S. That means that Miles knew before the start of the Wisconsin game that Etling was a qualified replacement for BH6! And Miles failed to use Etling in that game!

That is gross incompetence





Down vote all you want but this is the truth.

Yep, Miles screwed the pooch on this one.
How can you not see Etling was better than Harris in Practice.

We didn't just run half the plays because of fumbles and penalties. It didn't help, but that is not the only reason. If anything, it was field position. MSU deserves credit there and explains a lot as to why we didn't pass as much.
You realize that a big reason that we had poor field position was due to the fumbles and penalties? The first fumble gave them the ball at the 50. Defense made a stop and they punted it down to the 7 (good for them). On the ensuing drive on 3rd and 5 from the 12, we had a 19 yard gain erased by a penalty. We ended up punting again and they got the ball at the 50 again and ended up pinning us at the 1 on another good punt.

Still, you have to find a way to successfully throw the ball more than 10 times in a half if we plan on winning games in November. Surely we can all agree on that.
We ran 25 plays in the second half not counting the 3 at the end to run out the clock. We called passing plays on 12 of those (etling had 2 scrambles). I'm not sure what more you could ask for. If the drives were not stopped by fumbles and penalties, we likely would've called more passes.

Your analysis is solid.

Rantards venture over to the SEC Rant and get all defensive when those guys troll them with box score stats. They get all butt hurt and tell them to watch our games.

It's funny because they come right back over here and bitch about stuff on the stat sheet without looking at things like starting field position or penalties.

I actually thought the MSU game was called pretty well. Starting field position in the second half really made it an uphill battle. Penalties and turnovers negated strong effort.

I could be wrong, but as I recall, Cameron didn't recruit Jennings or Rettig. The first QB he recruited to LSU was Harris and the "experts" on here were unanimous that it was a great get. The four scholarship QBs now on the roster were recruited by Cameron: Harris, McMillan, Etling and Scott. Harris has at least temporarily flamed out, Etling hasn't established any consistency yet but seems to be on the way, McMillan has had a few garbage time snaps and Scott is probably a redshirt unless something drastic happens.

Jennings was the best choice in 2014, and Harris was in 2015. Harris started this year because he had earned the right. When he couldn't get it done, he was replaced. So, what the Hell else was Cameron supposed to do? Does anyone seriously believe Cameron hasn't been trying his arse off to improve Harris?

Oh, but this is the Rant where everyone is an expert and knows everything, even if they've never seen a practice. So excuse me. Carry on.

I watched the same game as you and I understand that the fumbles and penalties played a role in our offensive scheme and the MSU comeback. I've said as much. I put more weight on MSU's ST play bringing them back in the game and still believe you have to find a way to pass more than 10 times. Of course it's easy to pass more without penalties and TOs. I understand that. My point is that you still have to find a way to pass the ball more. You just do.

I'm not screaming about it or anything. Overall I was pleased with the changes on offense. Do you not agree that you'd like to see LSU put a team away though? Do you not think that has a lot to do with being able to pass the ball in the second half? Penalties and TOs happen in games.

Les playing to keep a lead instead of come out aggressive in the second half.


Come out aggressive? I might be wrong, but I swear I remember LSU throwing the ball at least twice in their first second half possession. And the way Fournette was running the ball the second half, why not run it. Your moving the chains and burning the clock up 20 points. Without a couple of fumbles, LSU would have probably scored another 10 to 14 points.

But I get where some of you guys are coming from, lets throw the ball on every down. That way, when there's an incompletion, the clock will stop, giving Miss. State more of an opportunity to come back. Then, all of you weekend coaches can bitch and moan because Miles didn't run the ball and control the clock. Smart move man, smart move.
