Wow! All were missing is navy and we are a service academy trying to win games without a passing game but a better defense at least. This will not work against the remaining schedule. At least the service academies use the QB as an option to run. LSU is gonna have to pass the ball or use the QB run option alot more going forward.

How many teams have had bye weeks?

Which makes the 177 passing attempts even worse

Yes, read this in Dandy Don this morning and thought the same. Miles seemed to suggest that there are some things going on in practice, passing-wise, that we just haven't seen yet. Hope we see those things this weekend.

Did you read the rest of Scott's write-up on this or just the first sentence of the paragraph that was posted on Dandy Don's site.

Army: 401 total rushes
LSU: 385 Total rushes



fun stat: when LSU has rushed 47 or more times this year, they have won all of those games.

only two losses had 36 rushes in each of them

Where do we rank in terms of percentage of plays? I can't believe this the way you've stated it/ are interpreting it.

Check our track record the last 10 years ... it's not too shabby. (This year ... kinda shabby....well, shabby.)

LSU is 3rd for most rushes
LSU is 2nd for least passing attempts

That pretty much says all you need to know

You're right. Our running game clearly isn't working.

Oh, wait. . .

What, that we're a run first team? That our passing game is bad? Thanks for the update, man. No one was aware of those things.

If miles would just open his eyes and realize that mercifully ending a blowout means practicing screen passes, this stat wouldn't be so skewed.

Up more than 3 TD's over cupcakes usually turns into a rush-a-palooza.

So, it's the Rant's fault we are not undefeated because we begged Les to throw it more!
