we just need improved QB play.
How do you get it when you don't let the QB throw it
When you routinely waste first downs by running up the middle
When the offense is predictable
When you don't get your QB of the future meaningful snaps

I don't disagree that we should pass it more on first down, but keep in mind we have less success passing the ball in first down than running it. Here are our first down passes yesterday:
1Q:
1st and 10 at LSU 40 Anthony Jennings sacked by TEAM for a loss of 1 yard to the LSU 39 LSU Penalty, Offensive Holding (NA) to the LSU 29
2Q:
1st and 10 at 50 Anthony Jennings pass incomplete
1st and 10 at UK 26 Anthony Jennings pass incomplete
3Q:
1st and 10 at LSU 47 LSU Penalty, False Start (Terrence Magee) to the LSU 42 3 34
1st and 15 at LSU 42 Anthony Jennings pass incomplete
And all of these first down pass attempts came after a successful first down, most of which were rushing first downs. So these were unsuccessful passes when the defense should have been prepped to stop the run.
Passing the ball on first down more is not a cure-all at this point in time.

Jennings is a "deer in the headlights" right now. I think he has been stunned by the fear of screwing up and he is too hesitant now. I noticed last night that he is holding the ball too long or waiting for receivers to get waaaaay open. He has not made many quality throws on timing routes over the middle or backshoulders. He would be better off counting to three and taking off running. I see why the coaches are not calling many pass plays...
