Great win but still have major concerns

I applaud the coaches for what finally seemed like a varied offense with some creative play calling.
That said....we rush for almost 400 yards with over 500 total yards and still could never put the game out of reach. Until QB play and trust in that position grows to hit big passing plays, we'll never be able to put teams away.
I can see growth and I think another off-season will do great things for Harris and Jennings going into next year, but this will continue to be a worry until I see otherwise.

8 and 4 without a QB not really that bad.

What does big passing plays have to do with putting teams away? Is a passing TD worth more points than a rushing TD?
We just need to be more effective in the red zone, getting 6 where we've been getting 3.

Very good job by coaching staff to employ the jet sweep. It was something that was out of the ordinary and something that they felt AJ was capable of doing.

Yes I agree. My major concern starts at the top of the pyramid and works it way down. Highest paid staff for 8-4. One more lame arse average 3-4 loss season and hopefully the admins wake up and make a change. 5 of the past 7 seasons with 3 or more losses.

Whoever came up with the jet sweep idea deserves major props. We had to find a way to get defenders out of the box for running game to be successful and it was obvious the threat of the pass and our qb was not going to be able to do it. Great wrinkle and I hope it stays in the plan going forward. Wisconsin uses it with great success.

Not a bad assessment, but hitting two short field goals and making it a 12 point game instead of 6 at the end puts it out reach, no?
Posted on 11/29/14 at 8:57 am to Brettesaurus Rex
Something HAS to be done about QB play. We arent going to win any championships when we are incapable of passing for 200 yards.

I mean quick scores. It doesn't necessarily have to be a pass play, but you get long TDs from passes much more than runs.
We take so much time off the clock running down the length of the field, we take half a quarter to score 7. If we stall we just can't keep up in games where the opponent has quick strike ability.

Gray dismisses a poster with legitimate concern - shocker! :rofl:
Posted on 11/29/14 at 10:14 am to guttata
But you wonder why it has taken this coaching staff this long to run plays like that that most all the teams we play do! It was about time.

Another negative soul chirps in. Shocker
Why can't you people just enjoy a victory without always throwing in some negative aspect?
Why is there always a dark side to every thing?
What is it in your make up that is searches for a bad thing in some thing good?
Why are you so personally miserable that you can't allow yourself any joy?
Is your life so filled with disappointment and misery that you can't let any pleasure in it?
Why do you let these" legitimate concerns" rob you of the pleasure of a victory?
Has your existence been filled with nothing but hurt?
Are you afraid to enjoy yourself, or is being miserable the only fun you squeeze out of life?
No matter what, some of you are quick to find an unpleasant side. Why is that? Why can't you just enjoy the win because there is little of anything you can do to address the negatives you are all so happy to post. None of you can do anything about these "legitimate concerns" anyway. So why let them consume you?

quote:Agreed. Still see quite a bit of "inefficiency", bordering on ineptness, in the passing game. Can point to some projection issues especially against stunts (Magee has been a godsend!), of course QB play in decision making and accuracy, receiver play in route running, drops, and most importantly chemistry and being where the QB expects them to be. By next year either Jennings has to improve immensely or Harris the same enough to pass him. One or the other has to happen for a solid chance at a SECW title.

That happens a lot more often than Thursday.

Did you miss the "great win" part?
Do you not have concerns?
Can you not have concerns and still enjoy a victory and the days after said victory?
Can you fit your entire fist in your a-hole?

It took 12 games to realize we are a 1 dimension team, that jet sweep should have been utilized in the beginning, we spend millions on coaching to figure this out sooner but oh well. Any team with a good or better defense will focus to stop the run. That game should not have been as close at it was, game plan changing in the 3rd and 4th gave A&M an opportunity until the end. I don't understand how LM doesn't realize the beast of a team he has and let the reigns geaux.
All in all a very entertaining season, i predicted 7-5 but will def take 8-4. Next year i guess the 'new' O-line will be the excuse but LM will keep it entertaing and I can't wait to see my Tigers!!! #LSUforever #BowlGameTime
