it doesn't make any sense to criticize giving the ball to LF for 1st and 2nd down

well anyone who disagrees is wrong

we have the best RB to grace the college ranks in at least 10 years. we need to give him the ball at every opportunity.

most fans think there are 2 plays in the arsenal, run and pass. If you run more than pass you're "predictable"

We are predictable. Which is fine, for now. I'm sure the offense will be slightly more unpredictable come November.

Wrong. You guys are going to be sorely sorry depending on one player for results. This team is one injury away from 0-3. Down vote me all you want but it's the truth. If Miles doesn't develop the passing game ALOT more, you better hope Fournette doesn't go down.

State your case. Is Fournette not the only reason we have won all three??

I understand your point but come on dude, LSU is most talented team I've seen on TV this year...Why do you think Kirby is so high on LSU?

Do we need to work on passing? Yes..

Will it catch up with us if we don't? probably

but let's not get crazy...we thumped all 3 teams...the MSU game was basically "letting them back in it". One penalty prevented the kill...and winning by 3 TDS

The Cuse was never really a threat...

Auburn was thrashed

I understand but these teams were thrashed by Fournette. Lol. No one else.

I don't say that in the sense that teams know what exact play we are going to run. But they surely know whenever we lineup in I formation what is most likely headed their way. Just because you're trapped on the train tracks with the train on the way, doesn't mean you can stop said train.

All of the great running backs faced eight and nine man fronts. Didn't matter.

How much do you know about LSU's running game in the past 5 or so seasons?

It's not like we don't get to use a RB is Fournette is not there. Do you really think that Auburn whipping is a loss with Guice getting the most carries?

It's easy to say that, but impossible to prove. Someone would replace him and we have a couple other RBs who, while probably not going off for 200 yds, are talented guys. Also, we probably would be throwing more.

Not saying it wouldn't hurt, but 0-3 is way over the top from what I have seen to this point.

LSU fans already starting the "LeSS Milezzz is only winning because of Linard Furnet!" argument.

Msu game was frustrating but looking back if Harris sails a couple then msu wins that game. At first I blamed the playcalling on why our D was gassed which is true but after watching again no one was stopping dak that night. Looking back I'm glad we played the clock to our advantage. That msu team is very underrated.
