You think maybe Cameron knows what Jennings skill sets are and he bases his schemes and play calling on that. Some coaches fall in love with a scheme and are going to run it....player capability be damned.

Yup and as soon as we lose again, they'll all be back.

Same boat or worse. I thought worse. Didn't think we'd see another win. The Tigers were awesome last night.

You don't deserve ridicule. You have every right as a fan to be both critical and overly zealous when it comes to supporting your team. It's part of being a fan. Everyone looks at everything here is a matter of black-and-white right or wrong, but most things are somewhere in between.




funny thing is regardless what happens it does not change the facts already laid out about past performances or the way things currently stand championship wise the last 7 years including this year. They way everybody here sounds it sounds like we are a lock for a NC or two the next two years right?

yet we could not win one with a true pocket passer in Mett, landry, OBJ and hill. guess we will see the next two years. WIth all this boatload of talent it definitely will not look good if we do not win one soon with these kids. I think one cat said we would win back to back titles. sure hope he is right!

Predicting future performance is a difficult task for everyone. I hope I am in the middle somewhere....blind optimism and extreme negativity on things you have no control over seems to me like insanity.

If you are optimistic or negative on the things you can influence, then your mindset will have a powerful effect on outcomes because your positive or negative feelings will effect your actions.

Nobody here is making a tackle or throwing a pass. Everyone to some degree lives vicariously through their teams. Many do this to an unhealthy degree, others for entertainment, social,and business reasons.

I haven't had anything to drink today and it is becoming evident in this comment.

I did enjoy this win more than most. This football team has come a long way in a month.

Why does a win mean the criticism was wrong, particularly since the QB play was poor and the offense only scored 10 points?

No one was happier than me that we beat Ole Miss. But nothing Jennings did last night changed my view that Harris should be the QB. Jennings did not protect the football (and before someone tries to defend him by saying one of the interceptions wasn't his fault, don't forget the sure pick six the Ole Miss defender dropped in the fourth). The passing game was not effective and Jennings was extremely inaccurate. We won because our running game got us just enough and our young defense played the game we all knew they were capable of playing.

Sometimes fans are right. Beckwith should have supplanted Welter long ago. It's a perfectly valid opinion (and one I obviously share) that Harris does us no more harm than Jennings and has far greater upside and should therefore be the QB now and of the future. At the same time, I am first and foremost an LSU fan and when the offense is on the field, I pull for AJ to succeed.

I don't understand why this is difficult for so many and why each win brings the sunshine pumpers out to call out everyone with an opinion that differs from the apparent view of the coaches as being horrible fans (and conversely why each loss results in the negative nancies announcing for the fifteenth time the official beginning of "The Decline."

Today should be about basking in the win and appreciating the key players (Adams, Beckwith, La'El, Vadal, etc) that won it for us. It shouldn't be about settling things that won't ever really be settled and for which last night served as ammunition for both sides of a differing opinion.

I honestly get more perturbed by fans that do this as opposed to the perrenial negatigers. They at least are consistent and truly believe what they believe. The back and forth fans chap my arse.

Right, we need a guy starting who cant remember which way a play goes and is hitting 35% of his passes.

There is reason Cam and Miles are not starting Harris---HE ISNT NEARLY frickING READY!

Check your stats. He is hitting 56% and has 2 less TDs than our starter who has played 80% of the snaps. He is averaging 10+ yards per attempt and has rushed for more yards despite having less than half the carries.

Harris is a better QB. Had he been playing the past few weeks, we would not have needed Bo Wallace to make a bone headed play last night.

I don't have an issue with legitimate criticism but when these negatives a-holes shite all over the coaches when we WIN and take every issue with the team as a reason to get rid of our excellent head coach, it gets ridiculous...

I understand your comment on Harris being a better QB. I don't know if he is better at this moment,but he probably is no worse. Your second comment is just your opinion, because you honestly have no idea how the Ole Miss. game would have played out had Harris been the starter. Maybe we win by a bigger margin (hopefully) or maybe the game plan is altered by Cameron and we don't control time of possession, or run for over 250 yards and still need a bone headed play by the Ole Miss QB to win the game. Perhaps we don't win at all.

How many throws have you seen Harris make? 50,000, 10,000 or less than 100? Shut the frick up!
