LSU offense is "changing".

yeah ok

Young and/or inexperienced QBs can, and do, play very well.

Name three first-year underclassman starting QBs who have won the SEC in the last 10 years. I'll wait.

The quarterback transfer spent his fall and winter nights studying Cam Cameron’s and Les Miles’ book of plays, schemes and formations.

And, yes, it has grown.

---

It took all fall and winter to learn 4 plays? And now it's up to what, 8?

Should have qualified that with the word "underclassmen." You knew what I meant, jerkoffs.

I'll still watch every game, though.


ETA: RC beat me to the Peanuts gif.

Great minds and all that.

Tim Zebo was one, right??

LSU won the SEC in 2007 (his sophomore year and first year as a starter).

and had a really hard time winning that game against him. In fact I would say Fla would have won if not for the exploits of Jacob Hester. But I do think a young QB can come in and do well and win right away. Winston did at Fla St and others have.

I think a lot of it has to do with them feeling comfortable in the system they're in.

I also agree with BH about needing to improve execution. he is saying all the right things.

What else would you expect him to say? The passing game was mediocre at best last season.

For the above poster to discount that possibility is a bit absurd.

Who are you talkin to?? If me, I'm not discounting anything. Just stating that a underclassmen can win right away in the SEC like others on here are sayin. Win in the right system imo. LSU's system is a clusterfrick like people on here know. You don't know what they are running most of the time. You know that they are a power running team that loves to run the hell out of the football. Early on in Miles' tenure they could get away with it because teams hadn't figured them out yet. But now everyone in the SEC knows that Miles' loves to run the football since he has been coach there now with his running back by committee strategy. If he has one dominant RB that is real good like Leonard Fournette that RB will get most of the carries, otherwise it's different backs sharing the load. They will pass when necessary to keep a drive alive, but they have been exposed now and are in desperate need of change. (They need a passing game!) And it is hard for a QB to develop in a system like that and be good right away.

let me come back and say this. You are talkin about young QB's can't be good right away in the SEC and those that were are usually Heisman candidates. Well, I think if Harris would have played in a system like Watson of Clemson he would have been a juggernaut as well as Heisman candidate himself. Clemson has real good talent, but LSU's talent is better imo. Harris is surrounded by ridiculous receiving talent that just needs the ball thrown to them regularly to develop. I'm not only talkin about WR's, but TE's and the RB's (LF and Guice). He can take off and run at will whenever he gets in trouble or whenever the hell he wants. Just give him the green light to do so, don't hold him back and let the kid play using those explosive abilities that he has. The numbers would be explosive if they just used that talent to the utmost. They would give an Alabama fits spreading them out like that and using all that talent instead of continuing to play power football and reducing all that ability. They play right into Bama's hands when they play like that.
