PJ goes overboard with the hyperbole


That seemed over the top even for him!

They threw 26 times, I think that's going to be fairly close to what they throw in most games. It is run oriented offense, just like Bama, if you want to call the conservative, so be it, but they don't have to chuck in 50 times to beat Alabama


This. LSU fans really don't seem to understand this. If we had Matt Barkley this would likely be the case.

As an LSU fan, I'm good with any configuration of the top 4. It basically sets up a four team playoff with Bama/LSU and USC/Oregon. We'll find out who is the best in the end.

The year Lienart won the Heisman for USC, they threw 426 passes and had 433 or so rushing attemps no including 49 att by Lienart, which I assume were mostly sacks, so if we add that to the passing att brings it to 475 or basically a 52 P 48 run split. No doubt LSU will run more than we throw, but again, the key is to be effective when passing, not necessarily throwing more passes. If they can't stop the run, no need to stop running.
