re: How many of you guys think Mett should throw it 30+ times per game next season?

Let me explain it another way. LSU was considered a running team and averaged about 22 passes a game the first 8 games of the year, with Lee and the other QB's splitting time. In the end, LSU averaged 20 passes per game for a 14 game schedule which includes some notables where they passed 7,10 and 14 times a game. 25 passes a game isn't airing it out and I certainly don't think it's beyond the realm of expectation.

The offense wasn't required to do much this season, I don't expect next to be a carbon copy. LSU will throw it more than last, and 25 a game isn't even a questionable number. Miles himself as alluded to the fact that the offense will be different (not that I take everything he says as gospel) but considering who will be behind center, I am positive that LSU will throw more than 20 times per game on average.

I understand what' you're saying.

All in all, I think if Mett can show he's at least decent and opposing teams have to legitimately respect the pass, there won't be many 9 in the box defenses we saw this past season.

IMO, give those RB's more holes, we can see even more yardage in the running game.

Damn, just thinking about it, I'm excited as can be. I think the running game improves significantly with Mett's presence alone.
