Yes he did change! fricking Miles went conservative! From NOLA.com, a reporter counted all the attempts per half:

quote:

Etling hit 14 of 20 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown in the first half. His 37-yard TD throw to D.J. Chark gave LSU a 7-0 lead and the Tigers led 23-3 at halftime. He finished 19 of 30 for 215 yards.


That means 10 attempts in the 2nd. half! 50% less, and from another site Etling only attempted 4 passes in the 3rd. quarter! You sunshine pumpers need to go to hell!

We also had about half the number of total plays in the second half.

We passed 44% of the time in the first half. We passed 40% of the time in the second half. Effectively the same run/pass ratio

Bro, we ran 50% less total plays in the second half. Thus the run to pass ratio was about the same in both halfs. So if we had say 20 total plays in the first half and ran 10 times and passed 10 times then had only 10 total plays in the second half and ran 5 times and passed 5 times, we still threw and passed at the same rate in both halfs. Why is that so hard for y'all to understand.

So if we don't throw 40 times in a game, it's conservative? We had a big lead and the best RB in the country. Shut the frick up.

There were also 2 pass plays called back for penalties and I believe 2 pass plays that Etling scrambled out of. And we ran less plays overall, so your argument is invalid. Surprise, surprise.

Never mind the fact that we were getting 6 yards per carry with Fournette. He just happened to fumble twice which doesn't normally happen.
