The rant would’ve shite the proverbial brick if Beckham or Landry threw a pass before Shepherd.

Hell, I'm not certain LSU wouldn't have been better off letting one of those two play quarterback.

Why didn't we allow our QBs to throw more at LSU?

We wasted those WRs.

That would have required some out of the box post 70’s offensive play calling.

Can’t imagine why we didn’t let our WRs throw passes. Why didn’t we let our lineman run the ball? Why not let our punter play safety? Why not let the QB play linebacker? Why not put Trindon at DE?

If they’re throwing passes then just who and the hell is supposed to be blocking for the running back? Did you ever stop to think about THAT?!?!?

Maybe because our actual QB was good that year?


Kinda makes sense to me.

First off, you have to have a head coach that would allow such a thing and secondly an OC with the creativity to make it happen. LSU had neither.

LSU was decimated by 2011,12,13 Early Departures after the NFLPA CBA in 2010 and the failure to win the NC in 2011. Miles could not restock fast enough and a decline set in. Look at the key departures before 2013: 9 UnderClassmen, including Russell Shepard, Mingo, Montgomery, Edwards, Reid, Simon, Wing....That decimated the last of the GOC Defense.

Landry & Beckham said the OL was so bad that they could not keep Mett upright long enough to throw a pass.




Key Departures


Shepard Stats





Jeremy Hill

Because we had a head coach that seemed to believe that forward passes would draw a penalty flag.

*hoping the sarcasm is obvious, but sometimes it really did feel like it.

True. Les was never known for running trick plays.

Why Russell Shepherd never threw a single pass at LSU is baffling to me.

He would have killed it on a little end around option pass.

Love this shite. Throws against Ole Miss, why don't we run the ball more? Runs against Clemson, why don't we throw the ball more?

That's 2013 in a nutshell with the dumb frick fans. Well guess what? Our offense is worse now. Congrats.

Agree with your point but Russell Shepard did not declare early. He played all 4 years.
