Predict LSUs passing run/pass ratio

50/50 but it might be somewhat misleading bc of lot of quick throws out of the spread are really just extended handoffs.

the last time LSU threw more than 50% of the time...

1999 - 44/56 36.8ppg

2017 Texas Tech - 46% rush / 54% Pass - 41.6ppg

It will still be very close to 60/40 run to pass.

This.

1. LSU doesn't have that bell-cow back they can just ride all game

2. They didn't go out and get a new QB just to run the ball 60+% of the time. If that was the plan, one of the guys already on the team could have handled throwing the ball 35% of the time.

3. The deepest position on the team is WR. Ensminger knows this and has recognized as much.

4. O got the job because he painted himself as the anti-Miles with regard to the offense. Every decision he makes is premised on what is the best strategy to allow him to remain the HC. He's not going back to what (is perceived to be) the reason Miles didn't win enough games and thus, was fired.

5. O's not very media-savvy. He can sometime be honest to a fault and he (and Ensminger) has talked ad nausem about LSU often running 3-4 WR sets. He's not trying to employ some misdirection there. That is what LSU plans to do.

I'd guess: 50/50 for the "game is CONTESTED time"

Shouldnt that tend to average out over an entire season? So, i'm asking "at year end, whats the ratio"

Only 3 SEC teams passed 50% or more in 2017. Everybody else was below 50%.

Vandy
Ole Miss
South Carolina

So if it's 50/50 we are in trouble.

ETA: Last year we actually passed more than Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi St.

What you need to win in the SEC is an efficient passing game not a prolific one.

Orgeron has already said publicly it will be 50/50.

Then it's definitely NOT going to be 50/50

55/45 run/pass 32 passes a game

I think that’s a good estimate, maybe a couple less throws.

I say we run 42% we pass 68%.
