Thought we would run more

Just watched the game again. A win is a win.l, but I would have liked to have seen our 4 backs light that a&m defense up.

220 yards isn't enough?
This board is nuts.

No shite ... felt like I was watching a West Coast Spread offense given that we erupted for 97 passing yards.
We gotta get back to running the ball.... Schembechler Style, baby!

It's game 8, damn near November. Too late to "work on the passing game". Our passing game sucks. Run the friggin ball. 33 over and over and over.

220 yards is great .. but, it could have been more IMO and i think that the pass plays that were called were too predictable and since we were running the ball so well and Mett was having a bad day, we could have run the ball more

It isn't the 97 yds passing. It's the 29 attempts for only 97 yds that dictates we should be running the ball more.
It isn't the 220 yds rushing. It's the fact that we could've been more productive on offense, especially in the RZ, but running the ball more.

They threw it so much because A&M was leaving literally no one back to play safety and LSU was going to challenge that coverage.

Oh, I don't know...maybe because they were constantly putting 9 in the box and their secondary sucks?
Don't think they were 'working' on the passing game, but Christ...Mett is a QB, so it would be nice if he was able to throw the ball from time-to-time.
Besides, if he could hit the broad side of the barn, we'd have killed them.

Holy crap ... I only caught about 1.5 quarters and had to listen to the rest on the radio.
Didn't realize we had 29 attempts. That really makes the 97 yards look bad.

Coaches call plays based on defensive alignments. Players execute, or in the case of LSU, throw the ball over everyone's head.

yeah, I'll have to watch the replay tomorrow night ... but, I did hear "overthrown" a lot on the radio today.

Les reads the Rant. We said he's gotta pass more and he is listening.

Throwing in the 1st half was understandable. but after we took control in the 2nd half, throwing was stupid

It isn't just Mett, either. Even with 9 in the box, it's pretty rare for guys to be open. We have no tall receivers, so just throwing it up and hoping they make a play on the ball doesn't work either. Especially with the drops these guys have.
Shytty routes, poor passes, unimaginative pass play calls, maybe two weeks is enough to fix it. I have my doubts at this point.
I just don't see why, when we were starting to assert dominance in the running game, did we resort back to passing. Hill could've had 180 yds given the chance.

We never 'took control'.

We did too take control, of the LOS. Then started throwing it again. Thus, we never took control.

I honestly think they were throwing so that it opened some things up for the run later in the game.
If it worked - great. If it didn't - then at least it helps to keep them honest.

Just seems like the game would have slowed down a bit, defense gets a rest as well. I didn't see a first down series that we ran the ball 3 times in a row although all of the backs were good for 4-6 yards a carry. We have the best backs in college football. Why not change the tempo of the game instead of aiding them in attempting to keep our defense gassed?
