Nyet. It was ridiculously early and I think we were both hungover.

Tim Brando doesn't know that I only care that LSU only wins 8 games so it looks like LSU has the perfect coaching to meet my goals.

First, you have a flawed view of balance. It isn't necessarily about a balance of both run and pass production but about variation in the offense and the threat of running or passing out of given sets. LSU is doing much more from a scheme standpoint this year and is getting production from passing calls, even though a big part of it is Harris' scrambling at this point. The bottom line is the other team has to better respect the pass this year compared to last. Second, it's obvious that the staff is bringing Harris along and giving him more and more each week. He made a variety of throws last week which, again, gives defenses something to think about. They are not "hiding" the QB and running a simple, one-dimensional offense like last year.

This begs the question. His point is that we will need to be more balanced to beat better teams, such as Bama. He's right. He further points out that we should be practicing for that contingency. He's right.

Where I believe he is wrong is that we don't need to be practicing a lot in games. Actual practice is where we need to be practicing. Hopefully we are.

BTW, our passing effectiveness is much better than our stats suggest, because our QBs are running effectively from the pocket. Those yards are listed as rushing stats, but they could be considered passing yards. Last year against Bama what gave us such a good shot at winning was a number of drive-sustaining scrambles by AJ. Harris has been very efficient this year, too.

No, he's not right. He was specifically discussing these two games. The Auburn game is not one to discuss balance. When should more passes have occurred in that game?

It means, how many times did we not convert a crucial 3rd and long to either stay in, or win the game?

I'll wait for the answer to that. Thanks baw

People that whine and bitch about balance are just blowhards. They heard someone like Brando spout off about balance and now they think it's some necessity to win. If you are ripping off 10 yards per carry, why is there a need to pass? Why take the risk of an interception, sack, or incomplete pass which puts you behind the chains, forcing you to throw more? Do what you do well. LSU runs the ball extremely effectively. There was no reason during that game to throw the ball more.

Ill answer the ? dumazz. I never said we needed to pass more in the Auburn game. I said we needed to achieve BALANCE. The phrase "we need" implies in the future but I guess that went over your pointy head. I said 411/70 is not balance. I am saying we won't win a NC with this kind of imbalance.
Anything else you need clarified at this point? Take your adderall dude.

In my personal experience, Tim is humble and overly generous with his time to all of those who stop to shoot the shite with him. Those bringing his family into the argument are way out of bounds and should be ashamed. He is an analyst... it's his job to offer opinions.

It could very well be possible to win a NC with those stats IF the defense pitches shutout. Maybe not likely to happen but it is possible.

Nobody is saying you would dumazz IF you were averaging 10 yds a carry. Jesus, you people are dense.

I still like Brando. He was worried this was going to be like the 2013 offense. Must admit, I was worried too.
