Did I miss something...how is this team being handled? So Cam is the reason Harris don't play?

I thought it was his ineffective 3rd down passing that kept lf out the game.

I was assuming they were keeping him for fresh legs.

I also thought we would for damn see him late for sure as the need to pass became greater (in routes).

At this point, it really is disheartening not to see LSU attempt to feature Harris, Fournette, and Dupre. Don't play for victory, play for experience for next year. We already have a championship caliber Defense.

if you watched, Wilson and Miles reverted back to that same nonsense from earlier in the season. Fournette 2 carries, Magee 2-3 carries, Williams 2 carries.

Again, I am tired of this philosophy of playing it close and try to take the game late.. It's too taxing..

Here is the problem with "saving" your best running back until the 4th.. when you start to get behind too much.. then you absolutely have to throw late..

I wish LSU would stop playing so scared to turn the damn ball over and have enough confidence and try to take the game early and often.. Play your best early.

In case the game were to have into OT, he would have been fresh as a daisy

That's one if the problems I have. They only run with Fournette. They never throw passes to him or use him on routes, and he has outstanding hands. When he's in the game, the defense knows it's a run 100% of the time. Maybe Wilson was like "man I'm not gonna risk getting you hurt in this shite show", and sat him the rest of the game. It was clear LSU offense especially was not on this game.

Well those other backs sure showed him didn't they?

Come on Leonard, you take your head and ram right into that brick wall, and don't you let up!

Has anyone thought that Coach Frank Wilson kept him out of game because he did not want him slamming into a Wall every time he ran.

Since he is the future he wanted to make sure he has a future.

Except Fournette made a huge catch over the middle early in the Ole Miss game.

ETA: Got my games confused for a minute.

Our running game wouldn't have been successful with Barry Sanders yesterday

They knew every running play and had 8-10 guys in the box because of our shitty passing game.

I agree with that.

Which is why you need balance.. early on.. and you still need to play your best players early on.
