re: I see now why CLM may be a bit circumspect with the passing game

Jester came down with it, controlled it, and let go when his head bounced off the ground.

And (I know, ifs and buts, and all that) if Jeter just makes that completion, and Chi makes that other drop, Harris' stat line looks more like 14/17, closer to 120 to 130 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT (No LSU turnovers in 2 SEC-W games, BTW - and penalties were cut in half from the first game to the second - Good luck or evidence of "coaching").

Still not a wide open offense based on yards, but very close to a passing attack we can scale up as necessary.

And there is nothing to say that Harris can't work on the overthrows and reading defenses - he's 19 for pete's sake.

Harris played great in the 2nd half. First half against sec team that beat him last year. I can understand him getting the jitters. He's also very afraid to turn it over.

First half, He overthrew the fade route in the end zone and the throw to Dural near the end zone was open but he threw it where only Dural could have gotten it and no one else.

2nd half, his throws were great. On the money but were dropped.


Not bad considering him and his receivers look like they have little "game" chemistry so far due to the 80% run / 20% pass ratio. Through the first two games, I think he's been very efficient. Like Lee in '11.

It was a good throw

There were 2 better options for that pass...

They need to mix in more pass plays to give the QB and the receivers practice, timing, rhythm, and confidence. They aren't going to be able to just run and beat everyone. Hopefully, they will do that these next two weeks to improve the passing game. They will need it with the tougher SEC teams down the stretch. They can still be heavier with the run, but need more balance than they have. With Fournette, they should be able to play action out the arse with the passing game. LF will get his yards as long as he stays healthy, but they will need to pass more often than they have. If they can get consistent balance on offense, they can go very far this season. Miles please don't let make this offense we one dimensional!
