Sorry if this has been posted.

Well, according to CFBStats.com, only two of the 108 Division 1 FBS schools - Air Force and Army – have rushed the ball more times than LSU this year.

And on the flip-side, LSU is 107th in terms of its number of pass attempts.



This is very stunning considered LSU is loaded with 4 star quarterbacks and 5,4 star wide receivers. LSU is not even trying to pass the ball.

We do try to pass the ball. We're just not very good at it.

To be fair to the QBs I've seen quite a few drops by wide receivers this year.

Yeah, but what are we ranked in terms of record?

Why are you stunned? I'm fairly certain Miles subscribes to the old saying of Darrel K Royal that says "Three things can happen you pass the ball, and two of them are bad."

Ole Lester loves him some knuckle dragging three yards and a cloud of dust.

It was surprising in September. Now, it's closer to expected than stunning

I wouldn't say we "never" pass, but we don't complete alot of passes!

AJ is 64 - 128 for 50% completions! 13 sacks and 3 INT!

It is what it is and it aint gonna change this season! Deal with it!

We sell out on the run against ole piss = us getting arse whipped. They will stack the box. I guarantee and if we don't try to throw deep at least once or twice to back them up = arse beatin
Hope if we get them out of the box we can hit short passes to go along with our running game = Win

LES its ok you can use my game plan I don't mine WINK WINK

The basic situation is this. Either our QB's are not talented, or our coaches do a poor job of preparing them to play. Other inexperienced QB's(like Tommy Hodson for example) come in with little or no game experience but can play. Herb Tyler is anothe example. The same could be said about Matt Mauck. I like Les and respect, but this QB issue has to stop.

Teams with fewer passing attempts than LSU.

Navy
Georgia Tech
Minnesota
Army
Boston College
New Mexico
Air Force
Georgia Southern

And we're tied for 15th in rushing attempts.

if they let jennings throw it 25 plus times we might not even have a chance to win
