How do people feel about the offense we saw in the bowl game?

I think the premise is wrong. It's perception of being good in the run game vs. being good in the passing game. LSU is multiple in many ways in its run game. While Cam Cameron has always had some great backs, his running backs at Indiana, San Diego, Miami (Ronnie Brown until he tore his ACL), and Baltimore were all highly productive. It just doesn't happen by accident.

If you took Cam's run game production and made it the passing production equivalent, we're not having this discussion. He's managed to have this type of running game while getting solid play out of his quarterbacks. Every QB who has started for at least two seasons in Cam's system has either finished top 10 in the Heisman voting, been a college All-American, been a Pro Bowler, or went on to win a Super Bowl. Every single one, and that doesn't count Mettenberger who only played one.

Fact is, Brandon Harris played pretty darn well last season up until the Alabama game. Alabama made most QBs they played look pretty crummy. They were stung by it and didn't recover until the bowl game. If Brandon stays healthy this year, watch out.
