Those stats are pretty but if you watch the Missouri game, Brennan struggled on third down and on the goal line.


Do you look at any other position outside of QB when rewatching these games?

Yes, Myles struggled at times on 3rd down and goal-line because our offensive line played God awful in both the MSU and Mizzou games. As the season went on they got better which makes Max look better. Myles had to pull something out of his arse too many times because opposing linebackers basically had free blitzes on him. This is a team sport and Myles was not the problem that game.

Also, go back and watch the Mizzou goal-line stand at the end of the game.
1. Our OL got no push forward to help TDP.
2. The play calling was Les Miles era predictable and vanilla.
3. Because the blocking up front was so poor, it forces us to have to use our RB and TE's as blockers so his options to throw to are much more limited.

Which is why Max is far better than Myles. As Max can over come a weak offensive line, and as we all saw, Myles can't.

No, Max's mobility made the offensive line look better. As Max is a constant threat to run and in which must always be accounted for. While Myles constitutes virtually no threat to run.

In other words, Myles's lack of mobility not only hinders him, but it also hinders LSU's offense at the same time.

He was, not only could he not convert a third down to extend drives, but when he had a first down and goal to goal on the one yard line with the game on the line, he also couldn't score. So, in other words, LSU lost the game because the ineffective less than mobile QB, Myles Brennan was in the game and he simply couldn't get the job done.

You can blame it on the offensive line all you want. Nonetheless, if Max Johnson had been in the game, LSU would have inevitably scored on first down
