half of those passes were either short, late, or just bad passes. 3 or 4 should have been completed.
Which would have put him at about 8/15. Not bad considering at of the low percentage deep stuff.
I think the staff is genuinely trying to bring him along at the right pace. They really couldn't do much for MSU and Auburn because of the magnitude of those games, but I saw an effort to throw more against Syracuse and EMU. Syracuse was too close for comfort forcing us to back off of the pass and EMU featured too much downfield passing with early subs on defense that kept it closer than it needed to be, IMO.
The receivers struggled against EMU. I think we all agree on that, but where was the dink and dunk passing that this young QB needs to gain confidence? Heck, we watched Brees light it up Sunday night and he couldn't throw it over 20 yards with much accuracy. The plan for him needs to involve more high percentage passing, so the linemen, receivers, and QB can get the reps they obviously need. To me, there was a bit of a wasted opportunity there with all of the long ball stuff.

Although I do like the idea of going deep when the D is creeping up toward the LOS, I agree that mixing in some short to mid-range passes would be beneficial in developing rhythm and confidence in the passing game, and that would be a way to get more guys touches, which I think is a general positive thing in a number of different ways.
I would like to hear Les Miles talk at length about the role of the TE in the LSU Offense. There are times when the TEs are great assets in the run game, but I'm puzzled as to why they are not utilized more on short, quick passes, especially with young, inexperienced QBs.

dink and dunk isn't going to get people out of the box. Johnson missed two easy short passes, Harris missed fournette on one, and didn't even see him on another.
I have no issue with what the coaches are trying to do. Harris has an arm, but still very raw in his decision making. people can talk repition all they want, but I'd rather the coaches go to what was working, the run game.
And it is quite amusing. Les makes a half time adjustment that results in his team pulling away and people blame the coaches.
