My bigger problem is that he stuck Jennings under center and tried to make a drop back passer out of him (and he clearly is not a drop back passer). It wasn't until the A&M game that he actually utilized Jennings in a way that allowed him to be successful


Putting their QB in a position where he may be more comfortable makes way too much sense for LSU to do it. Just like continuously slamming LF into 9 man fronts. Also, who would have thought that if spread things out a bit and create running lanes for your all world RB that he may have an easier time finding space to run? (see A&M and ND games, which were coincidentally LF's two best rushing games)

It's absolutely embarrassing that LSU generally has such a mediocre offense when they usually have so many great players on that side of the ball. Hopefully they tailor their approach to and playcalling to the strong suits of Brandon Harris this year. If not, it will be the same ole story.

I would point out at this time that Fournette's 22 yard touchdown against A&M and has 82 yard touchdown against Our Lady were both out of the I formation, the latter on the pitch dive.

Didn't his big runs come out of power sets in those games?

I know his 89 yard run came out of a 2 WR set on a toss lead

So did his 3 big runs vs A&M

So he was actually most successful out of the I in those games

Pretty much 100% of the "Man on the Street" LSU Season Ticket Holders, Alumni and Fans that we talk to around BR agree with this.

Everybody has been patient, but the patience ends this season. No more patience and no more "Mr. Nice Guys" if things go South.

Most are being cautiously optimistic and think Brandon Harris can get the job done in 2015. There are no reasons that he can't, but if he can't for whatever reasons and the Offensive "Problems" continue on yet again this season, there's going to be "Big Trouble in Little China" at the end of the year.

If Manziel and Winston can win Heisman Trophies as RS Freshmen, BH should be able to learn enough of the playbook and do all the other things that are necessary to bring the team an SEC West Championship. 10 win season is the minimum acceptable standard for this team full of athletic and coaching talent. (9-3 regular season with a Bowl Win)..........................

this is more for the the folks that say Harris would never play. We do have issues on the o that I hope will be fixed. But we have had potent offenses under Miles. Some of the best in LSU history.
