It has been way more a Leavitt problem!!! He is so skittish….


He got rattled in the pocket from a few huge rushes early, and it made him jumpy for mostly the rest of the game... I'd say it was a confidence level of -1 in the OL

Oh, they’re open. He’s more into looking to run. Too impatient.

Sometimes he sees the open receiver and can’t make an accurate pass, and sometimes he doesn’t see the wide open receiver at all. It’s not good, at all. I hope he improves or gets pulled before our playoff chances disappear.

I wonder if Sam is training with the VR system? It has to help with slowing down the game

He misses seeing them many times when they are open. It is like he doesn't understand the patterns they are running and when they will come open. He quite often bails into his chaotic scrambles right before they come open. Daniels had this same problem his first year at LSU.
SL first instinct is to run instead of seeing and giving the receiver the time needed to be in a position to receive a pass. And then when he does see it properly, his accuracy is really suspect . I am not sure that is coachable in just one year at LSU.

Route running and getting off in press coverage. Leavittt hit 2 very pretty passes on what looked like back shoulder throws. That is all about timing.

Both can and are absolutely true. The talented QB's are able to see the field such to take advantage of both situations. When they are covered and there is room to run, then RUN, but if they are open and you see it clearly then THROW it.....accurately. JL makes his decisions much too fast and is inclined to run first , and that can and does cause all kind of problems. One specifically is that the receivers get very frustrated and sometimes, if not properly motivated, can lead to loafing instead of 100% effort on every play. I hope LK can improve this problem very soon for the obvious reasons.

I think the major problem is that our o line is not doing a good enough job
Giving him time to throw. There was pressure up the middle every time he dropped back to throw.
