So, since I'm not calling the plays, the only thing I can post is what I THINK.

Which is exactly you and everyone else here are doing, too. Unless you were on the sidelines or in the booth?

I THINK they had a plan and were following it, instead going a play at a time.

First thing Fowler says. "Do not want to score too quickly." He's right.

Harris was not open initially. He got open late with a push off at the 2-yard line. It happened quickly. It would have been a difficult transition/throw

Brown completely whiffed on Kite. If Brown gets any body on Kite, LSU is inside the 3-yard line. An ideal result for that play.

LSU's false start on the next play hurt more.

This was his third game as a LK coached LSU QB in his FOURTH YEAR in a major college program. He should have at least a small semblance of awareness. He had 3 qtrs against an OM defense and did not progress even a tiny bit. CLK better have his young backup QB ready in every big game from here on in because I don’t think Sam is near ready for SEC defenses that have plenty of film on him. But that’s just MHO!

There were open wide receivers all over the field Saturday night. I was screaming at the TV, meanwhile Sam is running around like a chicken with his head cut off, holding the ball with one hand like a sack of potatoes.

You could put any one of these guys in the end zone on that play. If he doesn't throw the ball, you could have Jerry Rice and it wouldn't matter

Leavitt cost us this game. Call it what it is. Guy was a failure under the spotlight. A dominating running game bailed him out in Game 1. Plus our d went against a freshman 1st time starter.
He will be at double digit turnovers after Game 5, at this rate.

Yeah.

Don't score too early, don't give them the ball back with time to drive.

Remember, we're playing for the tie and overtime, not for the win at that point. We need a TD, a 2 pt conversion, and then a stop.

You want that stop to be around 20-30 seconds at the most, because Chambliss is red hot and they have a great kicker. You want them to burn that timeout before we score, so they don't have it when we kick off.

Being tied (say we score there and get the 2), and Ole Miss has 1:45 and a timeout, we're fricked anyway. You avoid that by running the clock down.

#4 was WIDE OPEN



I love that so many idiots look at that still frame picture and fully believe that is a wide open receiver and an easy throw lol


This is how you end up with “he missed so many open receivers all night!” narratives that permeate boards like this.

Never change rant

Cannot speak definitively to this play and hindsight is 20:20, but QBs are expected to anticipate how a play is developing.

I'm glad your scenario lead to a huge Tigers road win. Oh wait.

I didn't know Fowler had such an extensive coaching history prior to announcing games.

That's nice & all except for the fact the QB is supposed to know every route his receivers are running in every play & where the openings in the secondary will be based off presnap reads. If Leavitt had the mental grasp of the playbook & how to read coverages properly , he would have been able to anticipate Harris flashing open when he did. This is the point everyone making an excuse of Leavitt is overlooking.

This is a more difficult throw than it appears from the still image. And I don’t think Sam is good enough to make it

Seems like it's an easy read. Should be either the 1st or second read on the play especially since he's rolling to the sideline and the WR is running with him.

Have you known of a Kiffin QB (past decade) that doesn't run a lot?
That's the Offense he runs.

Thank you. Lincoln Kienholz the Louisville QB spent his first 3 seasons at Ohio St with a total of 0 starts prior to this season. That dude shredded the same Ole Miss defense that Leavitt struggled against.
