re: If Kamario Played Yesterday….

I thought one of the best takes was yes they had injuries on offense but we scored 31 against a defense that was healthy. I believe even with their qb and rb playing it still would not have been close.

Did you even entertain the fact that the offensive game plan might have been to mitigate risk since Mississippi state was going to be challenged offensively?

You know, football in real life is not like football on Playstation

Ok.. no you werent.. stfu

another wishcasting tiger rant poster. If this happened, if that happened, well, it didn’t. Plus, you’re not very football smart if you think we still wouldn’t have won the game with Kamario playing. We had their receivers blanketed most of the time, and even though they did have a bit of a run game, we stuffed them when it counted.

We intentionally had a short passing game plan due to the weather conditions and the fact that state has the absolute worst pass defense in the nation. The game plan was intended to be that way.

First SEC shutout in 19 years and here some of you are bitching and complaining.

The offense had zero explosive 30+ yard plays.

We didn't need those to win. Simple enough. Why use 30+ as the metric for explosive plays? The typical explosive plays in passing are 20+ yard plays (some use 15+), and rushing are 12+.

In this game, LSU had 2 explosive passing plays (3 if you use 15), all to Harris, and 1 explosive running play (Jones). One of the passing plays was a TD, and the one for 15+ was also a TD.

I was at the game, and I’m confident that if Kamario played the game would have been a nail biter till the very end. We looked good, but slightly above average. The offense had zero explosive 30+ yard plays. I’m concerned about our vertical threat being non existent. How do we fix that?

frick off. Their defense is awful and we let off the gas to shorten the game. We easily could have scored 50+ driving the field.

What about if we get the following players back:

Trey'dez Green
Whit Weeks
Deshawn Spears
Phillip Wright
A healthy Princewell all game
100% Leavitt

Then what?

There is not telling how it turns out, but he was having a great season up until the injury. Even with it, he was semi respectable in the Alabama game.

The entire game plan on offense and defense changes when you don't have the ability to threaten on offense. The defense played soft coverage all game with a few instances of taking some aggressive chances. Sam ate on a lot of lateral and short throws, as he should have since it was right there for the taking. The idea that this is a 31-14 game as one poster claims is asinine if Kamario is healthy.

Puckett made barely a handful of passes downfield and only one deep shot. Kamario would attempt and succeed in a lot more of those. I don't care what old boy saw at a QB camp; Kamario's body of work this season speaks for itself. The LSU offense had zero pressure to score; who knows what happens if State and a healthy Kamario is able to trade blows.

Y'all won, and a win is a win, but this game didn't prove a whole lot for LSU. Wins at home against bad teams (Clemson, TAMU), lower level teams (LA Tech, McNeese) or injured teams (Miss State) and then losses to good teams on the road doesn't prove much for LSU at this point. That could change, but I think there's 2-3 more losses coming (Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee).
