The difference is that we aren't playing cupcakes anymore so Dural can't just run pass everybody for a TD. I said regression before, but it's more because the defenses are better.

Nope. Wisconsin has a better defense than everyone on the schedule not named 'Bama or Ole Miss and the Tigers had a great second half against them. There has been regression for various reasons.

Taking the snap from center does not make one a QB. No offense to Jennings and Harris, but neither is a real QB. Neither one can throw actually a crossing pattern and hit the receiver in stride. If you aren't a passing QB by the time you get to college, its too late to learn.

It is a passing game as opposed to a non passing game.

Their pass defense is overrated. Only played one team in the top 40 of pass offenses, two in the top 60. One of those teams is Bowling Green. For reference, we've played 4 of the top 40 and 5 of the top 60. Their pass defense is ranked 3rd (bullshite) while ours is ranked 5th (real shite).

Also they played us the first game of the year. In case you forgot we completed 9 of 21 passes. They were started a true freshman in their secondary that Diarse and Dural torched. Sorry but that shows me absolutely nothing.

They have played one rush offense in the top 10, one at 35 (us) and all the rest fall after 58th. We played 2 in the top 10, 4 in the top 25, and 6 in the top 40. Over half of our teams have been in the top 40 of rush offenses.

Coaches have figured out that throwing Dural deep was pretty much our best play. No regression. just better defenses. Like I said, Wisconsin has played maybe one good offense period! Their defense is highly overrated.

Are you suggesting that guy is open? Because he is not. A ball thrown to that guy would be right in front of the safety. He probably was open the instant he cleared the LBs, but if the QB doesn't happen to be looking at him at that moment, the opportunity is past. This happens to all teams on most passing plays.

If LSU ever starts to play the first half we will be fine. It looks like we have to get behind 13 points before the team starts playing.

The competition got a lot tougher after the AU game as well. You can't discount that.
