re: Why do people think that passing the football is the key?

You HAVE to run the ball to establish the passing game

Kind of depends on the teams strengths and weaknesses, but for LSU this has been what we are constructed for.

Especially when you don't have an absolute stud at QB.

I'm not convinced this is correct, but I would agree if you instead said when you have average to mediocre QB play.

quote:

People think that if we start passing the ball all game that we will magically become more successful.

I don't think many people think that and certainly not a reasonable people.

Back to the original question

people think this because the lack of consistently good (not great, just the good side of average) has been a large part of the reason LSU has not been able to get over the hump in recent years.
