Why is this narrative still alive? They were not stacking the box like we have seen but they certainly were sending the house to stop the run failrly consistently until Harris started to run. Then when we stopped that they went back to it. LBs and Safeties were crashing the line at the snap.

the blitzing LB is playing right into the hands of the releasing OL on a bubble or quick screen. That's the whole point of it, genius.

Which was my point. Screen are set up to take advantage of blitzing lbs. Bama rarely sent blitzing lbs. If lbs aren't blitzing screen get blown the frick up or worse picked off.

Because it's the truth. Once Harris was dinged up bama rarely had the anyone extra in the box. This is a fact.

Bama ran a nice pick play where one WR blocked the DB guarding the other WR. Blocking is legal on pass plays within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage in college. A couple of other teams have done that with success to us this year. Do we ever run anything like that? I don't recall seeing LSU do that this year.
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like we, more often than other teams, have trouble getting WR's open on quick passes and screens and that is a play that, since its' legal to do in college, we should do more often. Is that even in our playbook?

Crowton ruined Les with all the pick 6 plays he called

A FALL NIGHTS DREAM (by BCW)
but then Les thought
but more and more
then told Cam
to hit the door
then Les unlike Les
left the new OC alone
then the new OC opened up the offense
and led LSU to the throne

It's true. Harris is awesome. The quick short passing doesn't seem to be his strength, though. It can be with time. He could have burnt Bama bad if his placement was better on his quick passes. He was just off target.

It is asinine to say that Harris can't do it consistently, as if it's due to some physical or mental inability to throw a certain type of pass.
It makes much more sense to say that we aren't very good at it because we rarely attempt it.

This is exactly right. They used run blitzing constantly on first and second downs. They did not blitz on most passing downs after they were burned for the long TD when they ran a corner blitz (at least until the 4th quarter when I turned it off). They're front four did not manhandle our Oline by themselves.
This left Alabama wide open to short routes, but people are right. Harris doesn't throw them well. BECAUSE LSU never uses them. You can't expect a first year starter to suddenly do something he's never done before in the most important game of his carrier to date. Maybe Les should have developed this part of his game earlier in the season instead of letting LF run for 200 yards a game. Please don't blame Harris for Les Miles' mistakes. Coaching lost this game.

LSU is the only college team I ever heard claim such a learning curve for a QB to be able to start.
Bingo!!!!! I don't get it either. And what about routes that the receiver just turns around or runs a curl route...this kinda short/intermediate route is too complex?? Doesn't have to be a quick slant necessarily.
Other thing I wonder is why when we are playing strong lines like Bama we don't try spreading them out a little with 3WR a little more. Oh well.

"I tell you what is puzzling.
LSU is the only college team I ever heard claim such a learning curve for a QB to be able to start.
Even Mett coming from UGA and playing in community college just could not grasp the complex job without sitting out.
How is this possible when our established QB hands the ball off most of the game?
Other teams have started QB's right out the gate or pulled replaced an injured QB with second string and hit the ground running throwing all over the field and handing off."
Please somebody explain!!

Bottom line: Kiffin is an offensive genius. We have no Kiffin.

Screens are only effective if lbs are blitzing. Bama wasnt sending extra guys last night. A screen would've probably ended in a pick 6. We tried quick passes last night but Harris couldn't connect.
100% this. And I don't get how some of y'all don't see this.

Actually it is Harris. He'll learn eventually how to throw those intermediate routes.
What do they about how if it's always someone else's fault besides yours, maybe it's really your fault? It's NEVER Les' fault. Even if he directly doesn't cause it, he recruits the players.
