re: Simple question but one I’ve not seen much of here, why didn’t we throw more jump balls?

This season, we had one of the worst redzone offenses in the country. For the majority of the season we had bottom 2 TD% in the redzone In the SEC.

Given our height at WR, why didn’t we throw more 50/50 jump balls?

Stephen Sullivan 6’6
Dee Anderson 6’5
Justin Jefferson 6’3 (came down with a really nice one vs A&M)
Terrace Marshall 6’2.5
Jamarr Chase 6’1 (who impressed me with his physicality for his relatively small size compared to the rest of our wideouts)


I've been asking that question for two years. The one time they threw it up to Sullivan it ended in the TD before the half. They never throw it to the tall receivers in the end zone. They throw to the shortest WRs and the FB. The OC is not innovative in his strategy. He is risk adverse.

Seems like the wouldnthrow a lot of those back shoulder throws to the bigger WR’s. I understand the fact that the LSU didn’t have as much talent as previous years.

However the lack of creativity in getting the players the ball in space was ridiculous. Also the offense had no misdirection or deception other than some horribly run screen passes.
