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

What exactly would you have liked us to do? Tell the other teams to not load the box so we can work on our passing game? It doesn't work that way.

For some reason, LSU is the only "good" team that has this problem. We usually have around 6 defenders in the box because we know that teams will kill us if we load up up front. Why are other teams able to do both and not run into 8-9 man fronts and then pad their passing stats by taking deep shots downfield?

If we can overpower other teams, it works. If we can't, we are sunk. We knew that we would not be able to overpower our November schedule and we had the door slammed in our face over and over.

It isn't that hard to see. If we could see it, then why couldn't Les? That is why it is time to move on.

Yes, actually. You tell them that by passing early and often and spreading the defense out wider than our 1 WR big sets. If successful, the box won't be stacked anymore.
