People act like Les doesn't want to win, and that he doesn't want to throw the ball.

There is a difference between wanting to do something and thinking you can actually do it.

last year we couldn't do it.

There are more years where we're saying we need to throw the ball than there are years when we can throw the ball.

That's the problem

If you think the offense doesn't throw the ball more simply because Les doesn't want to











then you're an idiot

This coincides with his statement after the bowl game. He said the QB needs to account for 250 pass yds and 65% completion. Only one guy has shown the potential for doing that.

I think that means there will be an emphasis on throwing the ball more in spring ball

So he says this AFTER the season. Then why would you play one of the worst statistical qbs in LSU recent history.
They made up their mind early that we weren't going to throw much and it showed.
Compare that to OSU where they keep the same offense, but demand the next qb step up and perform instead of dumbing down the entire offense.
So they go from Miller, to the next guy and to the next guy....And on film you couldn't tell anything had changed.
You really can't protect a player or hide his faults in big boy football. You recruit guys you like, and when their # is called, you let them play like you expect. Set them free and decide if they are capable. I don't care if you have to go to a walk on, try and find the guy who can play, period.
We lost 5 games, what did we gain by handcuffing the offense?

Doesn't really matter if he can, but won't, or if he wants to, but can't. LSU needs to get better in the passing game. I'm optimistic that Cameron will figure out a way to clear out those extra defenders camping out in the box.

Our WR roster is outstanding. We need to throw them the damn ball and let them do their thing, and that INCLUDES L. Fournette. Him in the open field vs. db's.... Well just ask aTm about that?

There's a big surprise.

We could throw the ball 60 times a game and they'd be whining about "why don't we ride Fournette like Urban does Elliot."

No they didn't

We don't know what offense they were going to run with miller

With Barrett they threw a ton of short passes

With Jones and a healthy Elliot they ran the ball a ton and used downfield passing

The comparison to LSU is tOSU stayed in the gun and ran zone read with all three QBs. LSU complicates things by insisting the QB go under center and run I formation. This causes the LSU QBs to learn 3/5/7 step drops and reading a defense while dropping back. Which is hard to do

Plus the tOSU OL got better as the year went on
