Jennings looked good when he finally stopped competing with Harris and started competing with Wisconsin...

quote of the day

His high trajectory passes scare the bejeebers out of me. There's a time for touch passes, and it's not when your man is tightly covered deep downfield.

Stand corrected........first cup of coffee needed.

On the west coast now, sleep patterns screwed up.

Outnumbered at sports bar last night also but Cheese Heads were VERY quiet late in the fourth!!!

Jennings started slow, but the whole team started half asleep.

Play calling was part of the reason. Miles/Cameron called predictable plays trying to will the run game to work without establishing any passing threat for the Wisky LBs to respect in the first half.

Once the second half score/situation forced Miles/Cameron to open up the passing game, the whole offense opened up. It's typical Miles hard headed play calling, but the depth and ability of the LSU athletes win closely contested games for him after the opposition is worn down and beat up. If Miles/Cameron would have allowed Jennings to throw some high percentage passes and attacked the seams with the big fast WRs/TEs early, this game would have looked a lot different barring INTs... I guess it's the INTs that scare miles so much to keep it close then go for broke in the second half.

Jennings looked good in the second half, and I think once he realized the type of weapons he has in Diarse and Dural his confidence improved and he was making quicker decisions. As he starts to get a better feel for the offense, he could get really good. His timing and ability to process info will improve with some success.

Also, the LSU Oline was getting push on the UW Dline all night, but the LBs didn't respect the passing game allowing them to hit the RBs in the hole and on the Tiger's side of scrimmage. Once the LBs started to respect the pass, the running game was unstoppable. I wish LF could have gotten some more carries in the 4th quarter to let him experience more success, but Hilliard did well.

He moved the pocket and he resets very well. Nice +

Some truth here...coaches fault for not managing the competition better.
AJ was Not a lights out HS player...if he weren't at LSU would likely Not Be in SEC.

I meant I wish they would have kept him in until he actually passed the ball.

Another series like the one he has and we lose the game. We didn't have the luxury to experiment. There is and never was a reason to force him.

He reminded me of JJ in the first half. Despite the TD pass, it looked like he couldn't throw the ball in the same zip code the receivers were in.

Apparently though, the first half didn't faze the kid, and this is something I REALLY liked: no sulking, no "WTF" behavior ... the kid came out as though the score was 0-0; mentally he seemed to have put the shitty first half behind him. Gotta like that attitude.
