Not sure if serious?

2005 - Fisher (41% pass)
Run attempts - 509
Pass attempts - 360

2006 - Fisher (45%)
Run attempts - 450
Pass attempts - 368

2007 - Crowton (42% - 14 games)
Run attempts - 612
Pass attempts - 442

2008 - Crowton/Miles (38%)
Run attempts - 495
Pass attempts - 391

2009 - Miles (43%)
Run attempts - 435
Pass attempts - 336

2010 - Miles (35%)
Run attempts - 538
Pass attempts - 301

2011 - Miles (32%)
Run attempts - 591
Pass attempts - 279

2012 - Miles (40%)
Run attempts - 527
Pass attempts - 356

Every year prior to 2008, we threw over 40% of the time. Since '08 we have only passed the 40% mark one year. In 2009, when we lost 4 games, and were forced to pass.

I'm curious to see Bama's Pass/Rush ratio in the last couple of years. They are built the same way like LSU since Saban believes in a rush first mentality.

The only difference being when they do pass they seem efficient - receivers run better routes, better blocking, players execute better, dont miss their assignments, no deer-in the-headlights look after coming out of a timeout etc. When it is a recurring problem over 4-5 years the fingers can only be pointed to coaching and mismanagement.

how do they rank comparatively to other NCAA teams in that time period? That is all that really matters

what matters to me more is the W-L record of those teams in that time period compared to LSU. see how many of them you want to trade records with???

let's break that down:

what's different from 2008 to now?

russell/flynn vs lee/JJ/mett


what's the difference there?

do you know why our run % was 32 in '11?

because you don't throw the ball when you're up by 3-4 scores.

bama's run pass ration this yr was 63/37. UGA's was a bit was more skewed to pass but close to 60/40.

a 60/40 split is what you want in cfb with a pro style offense. if you don't agree then you differ in philosphy and will never agree but for a fan base that wants everything bama has you think this would be preaching to the choir.
