50% is serviceable. 55% is "decent" - 60% - at least on a consistent basis, is excellent. That's how fine the line is. "Even 60%" diminishes the fact that a 60% passer, even with the 16 or 18 passes we throw in a Les Miles Offense is good for about 1 more win per year, at least in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015. Blee dat.

Completion percentage is even less important for a team that tries to establish the run game in and game out like LSU does. First of all, they are throwing fewer passes than a more balanced team so that in and of itself, diminishes the importance. Second, they generally throw a lot low percentage more deep balls to keep defenses from stacking the box. What LSU needs to do is be more efficient in 1st and 3rd down passing.
