We cannot complete slant routes. We cannot complete flat routes. Most of our numbers come from busted defensive plays. It doesn't matter if you run a spread offense or a pro-style I formation. If you can't complete a simple pass then the running game has all the pressure.


But not only is this true for this year, but outside of 2013, this is true for almost every LSU offense under Miles. We cannot complete some of the most basic, simple passes that every Division 1 level offense is typically able to complete. I like the idea of running the ball, but it's almost useless when the other team knows its coming, stacks 8 in the box, and you have absolutely no answer for it.

It almost seems like Miles is shell-shocked when a defense keeps stacking 8 in the box. The man doesn't have an answer for that. LSU isn't efficient enough in basic, collegiate level passing, and the offensive line isn't good enough to handle it.

I agree completely. There's blame to be spread out amongst a few of the coaches up there. A lot of the quarterback talent Les has had he inherited. He recruits JJ/JL who were both coveted QBs coming out of high school. With the departure of RP, the two duds came into play. LSU went on a string of bad quarterbacks until Mett. I attribute that to CLM, Multiple OCs, and the recruiting staff. It's not just one. Again even now BH appears to be legit. He was sought after by a several schools.

It just seems that LSU has an issue recruiting QBs. I've already seen that change with who LSU has attracted in the past two years with the arrival of CCC. His arrival really turned heads because of his development of quarterbacks.
