LSU's offensive woes....are largely a figment of imaginations, in my opinion.

The drops are real and need to be fixed.
But why would Les want to open it up too much before he needs to? I submit that it makes a bit of sense to keep the offense's abilities somewhat under wraps until needed to provide less time for other teams to prepare for them.
Thoughts?

For EMU, it looked like we were determined to work on the passing game and had early success; however, when the drops started happening and EMU pulled to 20-14, Les decided to hammer away because our WR weren't ready to play.

Title should read "LSU offensive woes in passing game"

The 1st qtr at Moo state was a glimpse of what this team is capable of, sometimes I think CLM is playing "rope a dope" with the rest of the conference,but Damn it's frustrating at times!
Geaux Tigers!

I want to believe the secret playbook is real

because if you don't work on the entire offense ahead of time, it can be hard to "flip the switch" and immediately be effective, especially against the better teams.
And the "keeping our offense under wraps" is just nonsense. There's no secret playbook.

Absolutely Agree 100% - I think the less, no pun intended, he shows the more the Gumps have to plan for

After many negative comments towards Les Miles, I now trust him to know when to do this, flip the switch

Chalk up last game to a lot of pass interference and WRs getting in their own heads

Are you kidding?
You think 5 weeks into the football season and 2 games into the SEC season LSU is trying to keep their passing ability "under wraps???
Look, I am bout as a "P/G glasses" as it gets, but I cant even buy into that thought process.
Who knows when or if the light bulb turns on for the passing game and I recall the 2012 team having a terrible month of Oct. passing only to have a vast improve in Nov., but I don't think this team is holding back on anything. We are struggling throwing the ball to this point cause we are not a very good passing team for whatever the reason. imo

When the only teams you are ahead of in passing are the 3 Military schools along with Georgia Southern you should take a hard look at your offense. 5th from the bottom is not an imagination.

I don't really care about LSU's offensive struggles until it costs LSU a game. Until then, I am good.

Woes? LSU's scoring is up and our red zone efficiency is outstanding.

Exactly this. The first play of the game was a pass. How crazy is that? He was determined to balance out the offense, and that couldn't happen, with EMU trying to play spoiler, and the WRs dropping every long pass.

I see the "secret playbook" hypothesis is still going strong on the Rant.

but that's exactly the wrong attitude.
You've got to care BEFORE we lose a game so you can fix the problem.
It's like saying your car runs fine and you're not going to worry about filling up the tank until it's empty. Too late.

I don't care what Les says about being balanced. Until someone actually stops Buga then we will never throw the ball. Don't be surprised if noone ever stops him and as long as he is part of the offense then there are no offensive woes. Only team with the talent in there front 7 to stop him is Bama and that will be the game we finally throw the ball with sucess because their secondary is weak. It does feel good to watch every team put everybody in the box to stop him and fail miserably.

It does feel good, but you have to consider that our competition so far has been bad. MSU is average and was a FG away from beating us. Syracuse is below average. Auburn is downright awful. So is EMU.
When we play Florida, Bama, Ole Miss, A&M, even Arky, then we'll see what we have.
So far, so good, but it's been a weak schedule so far.

15 drops in 4 games is absurd and as you stated, need to be corrected, sooner than later. Add 15 completions and approximately 300 yards and 4 Touchdowns to the Tigers numbers and they'd be looked at as a complete offense with the stupid good running game and good placekicker. Just catch the damn ball and this offense will be very hard to stop.
