re: What I can't figure out about our offense among many other things

The man takes the "we do what we do" mantra to an absurd level. frick man. Even mediocre coaches try to take advantage of matchups manipulate matchups in their favor. Miles' entire approach to offense is literally, "my guys have to be better than your guys or we're just gonna suck".

It humors me that some only see the short passes when they are successful and not when they failed. LSU came out slinging the ball against Ark.

on the 5 drives before the one you mention:

Harris had 3 completions on 11 attempted pass plays for positive yardage of 36 yards but was sacked on 4 of those plays for a loss of 43 yards and a turnover. 21 of the 36 positive yards came on one deep (not short or crossing pass) to Dupre. Many of these throws were short routes, screens, and even included an attempted pass to a FB. NET PASSING GAME TO THAT POINT: -7 yards and a turnover.

There was one rush by Harris that may have been designed for 2 yards that I am excluding because the play by play does not indicate if this was a busted pass attempt where Harris pulled and ran or not. 2 yard gain.


LSU/LF had 11 rushing attempts for 44 yards but had 10 negated by a 15 yard FM penalty on the Oline. NET RUSHING GAME TO THAT POINT: +34 yards






Yet you were surprised that the coach could find this for the last drive of the half. It was the obvious game plan all along, it just wasn't successful. Surprisingly, LF had to that point had the most success. I was surprised Harris could connect and glad when the receivers helped Harris out by catching some difficult balls on that last drive.
