"What if you don't need to open it up to win tonight.

What if, in the vast hierarchy of priorities, it is more important to develop your starting QB?

I seem to recall Bertman mixing things up in the middle of the season to have the winning combination when it mattered.

Bertman knew that preparing the team to win a championship is more important than winning each game by the largest margin."

I brought a Texas A&M grad to the game Saturday and half way through the game these were his exact words.

"I don't fault Jefferson at all for not having impressive numbers. The play calling is terrible. They only call shot or deep passing plays. There are no intermediate (15-20 yds) plays being called. Jefferson is not a very accurate thrower, but all the blame cannot be put on him. Until I see him throwing those 15-20 yd throws I can't say he that he is incapable of leading the offense. He is ideal for the half arse offense that is being called."

Again those are his words not mine but it was good to get an outsiders perspective.

My observations:

We are going to waste a championship calibur defense with terrible offensive play calling.

Other colleges are starting Freshmen QBs who look 10x better than our Junior whos got 17 starts.

Miles believes a QB controversy will doom LSU because then he will have to make a decision, so hes decided the runoriented play calling will be the glue to keep offense together so the weels dont fall off. Miles cant screw up if he doesnt have to make a decision.

Miles/Crowton's offensive philosophy: "If we cant throw it, we wont".

I have never seen an offense designed to minimize a QBs exposure as much as this. Its sad.

LSU passing: ranked 115th out of 120. What exactly are you telling recruits? I know what florida and bama are telling them....

Wait until we play a real defense that stops the run. we will get shut out.

okay... i think ive vented enough for now.
