So all the OP is saying is that Wisconsin is a perfect looking glass into Les' offensive philosophy this year, as compared to if we were playing a cupcake.

However, the OP didn't state it like you did, which I agree with, concerning Les Miles' offensive philosophy. The OP placed the blame at the feet of BH.

No school can have the consistent bad luck, bad recruiting, bad scouting LSU has had for QBs during the entire length of Les Miles' tenure at LSU. Yet, posters still want to blame the QBs. It is the system and Miles in particular that is the problem, not the personnel. BH came to LSU as a confident, cocky gunslinger with superior talent. Les Miles has neutered him and taken away his confidence rather than using that confidence and arm talent to develop a top notch QB.

Miles injects his fear of the passing game into his QBs. A QB can't be very successful when he has a deft fear of throwing an interception each time he goes back to pass. Kelly at Ole Miss is given the green light to use his skills and thus has no fear of an interception because his coach has no fear of an interception. Watson at Clemson has no fear of interceptions. Miles neuters his QBs by placing his fear of interceptions into their psyche where they are playing to avoid a turnover rather than being aggressive and using their confidence and skills to score on the other team. Like any endeavor in life, if you are constantly consumed about the negative rather than the positive, it paralyzes you and negates you abilities to achieve success out of fear of failure.
