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
It's hilarious that everyone ignored this post ITT, but it's true. The rant has been begging for the short/intermediate passing game all season. We tried it, and we couldn't execute it.
The OL can't pass block, and the QB was hitting Arkansas defenders in the helmet and back on screens and getting sacked on rollouts.
This was NOT the Les Miles offense that tRant loves to complain about.

Because we have very little experience at it, and I doubt we practice it much.
Cam Cameron really should be kissing Zach Mettenberger's arse right now because the only reason anybody thinks at this point that he's a serviceable OC is because Mett bailed him out.

So what came first the chicken or the egg?
You think if those plays were routinely practiced we might have a modicum of success with them?
YES...the answer is F-ing YES
The point is those plays are not standard operating procedure for Miles and so when we do run them they end up working like shite.
John McKay was once asked what he thought of his teams "execution", He replied he was all for it.
That is about all I have to say about the nonsense we have been seeing with this program under the tutelage of Leslie Miles
