re: For 7 games LSU fans said "Develop the passing game." Miles just ran the ball.

The 3 games leading up to Bama, we averaged over 22 pass attempts for over 200 yards and 2 TDs. Facts don't jive

The yards mostly came on big plays and the completion percentage was not great. We did very little over the middle or in the 10-20 yard range. We did not develop the passing game in a way that could move the ball down the field consistently. Our passing game hopes for a one-on-one with a receiver deep down field.

Why are LSU receivers never open? No matter who we play, a DB or two are all over whoever we throw the ball to? Yet, every other program we face consistently gets receivers wide open. It is because our passing game is terrible and it has been that way and everyone knows exactly what we are doing.

Those 3 games with 22 passing attempts and 200 yards were a mirage and you could see it while it was happening.

I think that Brandon Harris could be a good QB. But, they never want to run the risk of him throwing an intereception, so that passing game stays underdeveloped and good teams exploit that.
