re: Cam Cameron's ability

Of the top 10 teams in this week’s CFP standings, eight of them throw more than 41 percent of the time. The exceptions are No. 8 Ohio State (36.4 percent) and No. 9 Auburn (33.2 percent).

So our coordinator is paid an insane amount of money to let Les run the offense. All this because he and Les are friends. If this is so then Les will be gone soon. Program can't operate unless everyone knows their job and is allowed to do their job.

Cameron needed a job. Miles and Cameron are from that UM Rat Pack coaching staff of the late 1970's thru the mid 1990's. At least 3 times Miles got Cameron a job in either the NFL or NCAA

How is 60% even possible? We have one or two throwing options any time we throw, and passing plays are only 30% of the time. If its that simple then why is our offense forfeiting even average success 4 out of the last 5 years

---

We haven't had a QB with less than 57% since 2008. And we had "average success" in 2010, 2011, and 2012 as well as 2013. You just assume that average success means the same thing as above-average success.

FYI, 2008 and 2009 were the only years since this one that we've started a freshman and/or sophomore QB.

I think you are over thinking it

I personally do not think a scrambling QB can be taught to be a pocket passer

hold you horses. you really don't know that. THE PROBLEM IS our #1 qb is terrible at passing accuracy. I think he is coming around on having a bit more presence tho. it doesn't matter if you can't hit the broad side of a barn on 50% of your passes.

False. Jefferson 2010 had a 56.5 % completion percentage.

False. How can you call our production "average" if most teams have better production?


2010

Total Offense -86th out of 120 (you honestly call that average?)

Passing efficiency-92nd out of 120

Passing Offense-107th out of 120

Scoring offense=45th out of 120 (12th ranked total defense)

First Down offense=94th

3rd down conversions-75th

Tied for dead last in NCAA in Red Zone Passing TD's with 3

Tied with- Army, Air Force, Utah St., New Mexico St., Midd Tenn St..

Hell, even Georgia Tech with a triple option offense threw for 4TD passes. What type of prolific passers are they recruiting there? Guess they'd rather go run the ball 80% of the time at GT instead of utilizing that unheard of passing prowess in Baton Rouge that LSU just seems to be tricked into missing almost every recruiting year ever during Les Miles tenure.


2011 (13-1) team.

Total Offense -86th out of 120 (this team was 13-0 during the season)

Passing efficiency-24th out of 120

Passing Offense-106th out of 120 (efficient but no real production in terms of yards)

Scoring offense=17th out of 120 (8th ranked total defense)

First Down offense=80th

3rd down conversions-31st

Putting 2011 into perspective:

#2 total defense
#2 scoring defense
#16 in turnovers gained
#2 in turnover margin in NCAA
#14 sacks
#12 punt returns team
#5 punt return yardage defense
#26 kick off return yardage defense
#3 in net punting
#3 passing efficiency defense

In other words, everything BUT the offense was far above the rest of NCAA.




2012

Total Offense -85th out of 120 (still average?)

Passing efficiency-77th out of 120

Passing Offense-92nd out of 120

Scoring offense=58th out of 120 (8th ranked total defense)

First Down offense=97th

3rd down conversions-60th

Red Zone offense- only 6 Red Zone passing TD's:

Only teams with fewer Red Zone passing TD's, LSU was also in the top 10 in amount of FG's. (In other words huge failure to convert in RZ, probably from inability to pass)

Air Force-triple option
New Mexico (3-8 record)
Georgia Tech-triple option
Navy-Triple option
Kansas (3-8 overall)
Iowa (4-8 that season)
Southern Miss (0-12, winless under Ellis Johnson)
Kent St.
Auburn (3-9 record that season Gene Chizik fired)
Colorado St.

Good job in being selective

that's the way of the rant

I just don't think it's very likely that jennings will be benched. The only way harris plays is if jennings is hurt.

does anyone honestly think Miles is going to bench jennings as a junior or senior?

jarrett lee was a turnover machine in 2008 and didn't see the bench until he hurt his ankle in the ole miss game. For miles love of not turning the ball over, lee basically dared les to bench him in 2008, and he wouldn't.

I honestly think we Harris wills tart next year. Another year in the offense, and he has just way more physical gifts than Jennings.

they are definitely thinking past this year with Harris.

the back up was a true freshmen who wasn't even an early enrollee.
Hell, Lee was supposed to be the third string QB behind RP and Hatch if RP got hurt.
Benching your third for your fifth who has been practicing with the team for 4 months is a shitty option.

they got him into games though. even early as the 3rd game in 2008
