re: So When does LSU Play a Complete Game? (Passing Game Stats Inside)

of the 3 phases of the passing game, he's the least of the concerns

Fair enough, and this thread has been relatively rational so I can appreciate that, but my post are more directed at the overall opinion on the rant lately.

The silver lining to me is that we are not lacking in talent, which could not be said in some of the last few years. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I refuse to believe our entire WR corps of 4 and 5 start guys are going to have drop issues for the rest of the season.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I almost find it refreshing that we've been so lackluster and still managed to win the last few games. If we make a few corrections and improve our efficiency, we'll be scary.

really, how can you argue that a balanced offense will not improve our ability to compete going into the teeth of the sec schedule?

It's not that difficult.
We currently run the ball on 73.5% of offensive snaps.
We average 7.2 yards per carry rushing.
We average 6.2 yards per attempt passing.

I would honestly have to see more of Syracuse before calling them a cupcake.

well they were on a walk on 5th string QB when we played them. bama would be fricked if that happened against us

what if that passing extends drives

---

Like I've said before, we don't need more than 3-4 more passing plays per game, if that, to be successful. The execution needs to be better. I think we agree here, but most on this godforsaken website just worry about the passing yards per game and nothing else.

I couldn't care less what our overall passing yards are, I just want to know that we can complete a pass when everyone knows we're passing, and we've shown the ability to do that at times this year. I just want some consistency.

Also your thought process fails to address what happens when we play a defense that holds LF to really good game rather than a spectacular game.

---

1) The flaw in your logic is assuming that such a team exists. We don't know that it does. We assume that Alabama can hold him in check based on what happened with Nick Chubb ... others are also assuming to a lesser degree that Florida and Ole Miss are capable of doing this.

2) Should such a team exist, which will remain in doubt until said team has proven themselves capable of doing this, we will either adjust and adapt, or fail. Most (myself included), believe that should this happen, we will fail and we will lose.

However, as posted earlier in this thread, if we our receivers can fix the drops, our completion percentage goes up, our yardage goes up, and we instill faith in the coaching staff to continue to call those plays.

Nothing is predetermined.

This myth that our qbs suck even year just isn't true. Our qb play was only truly horrible ij 2014.

whoa whoa whoa

efficiency is ok but when you're celebrating a 17 TD season as good then you need to step on the brakes. solid? maybe. good? meh

being a low-volume, efficiency passing game only is good if you are dominant otherwise. so if we had the 2011 D or fournette? yes. otherwise? no

Bama has had one since AJ

bama won a title with 2 different QBs and then last year simms had as good of a season at QB as mett in 2013

Florida hasn't had one since Tebow

they won a title with 2 different QBs (and have found a QB desert after)

Uga benched qbs yesterday

yeah b/c Bama stopped their similar rushing attack. hsitorically they have produced QB after QB with minimal lean years

A&M hasnt had one since JM

kyle allen is better than anything we've thrown out since jimbo's QBs left, except 1.5 years of mett

---

Do really think is is reasonable to assume that LF will get 215+ yards and 3 TDs in EVERY game.

If he does, great, but I look at things a little more realistically.

I'd rather feel confident that the passing game can come through on the off chance that LF doesn't have a spectacular gone one night. And we have seen nothing to indicate that it can.

The same kyle allen that had worse stats than JJ did in 2009? You do realize you can look this stuff up right?

bama last week certainly raised the stakes

but also i mean running games get shut down and LSU historically throws out a stinker or 2 against shite opponents. that does happen

our OL needs work too, but yes, it is possible

we've played a good chunk of the year and it still looks bad, though. with every game we don't display competency, we come closer to running out of time

you are clueless. different teams going forward. if you think past performance against those teams is a prediction of future results, I can't help you. you are a lost cause.
