re: LSU's offense

Protect the ball, play solid defense, control the clock, score = win
Essentially if you are effectively moving the ball with the running game and asserting your will in the tackles, runnings backs protecting the ball, why pass 40 times? the more you throw the higher your chances of it getting picked, and the chances of a pick > the chances of a fumble

Essentially how we beat ole miss last year and bama lost, ole miss lives off the turnovers it creates

Harris also got a touchdown pass called back. Did you see that? He only got 14 passing opportunities think of it that way. No where near what average qb's get. Yeah, he's been majorly limited due to being considered a "risk." He's a young quarterback and those were must win games where every play counted. Then in the Auburn game when we finally got a dismal lead, Les didn't want to throw it all around and look like he was running up the score. He should get the opportunities in these upcoming few games to try out the passing game. Although, Les has to get Buga stats if he wants him to continue to be a heisman contender. But, if Les knows what is good for the team he'll majorly open up the passing attack. Also, comparing Brandon Allen to Brandon Harris is laughable. Allen doesn't have nearly the athletes around him and isn't even the same type of quarterback. That's the funniest comparison I've heard all day!

We're a throwback team similar to Nebraska in the 90's. As long as we can put up points on drives I don't care if we ever throw. Now if we are having to punt and we're not scoring points then it's a problem. I think the Mississippi State game showed CLM what can happen and I don't think that situation will happen again

Nobody melts after a win like LSU. Nobody.

To be fair Bama is really the only other school that has as many opportunities for a good post win melt.

Not sure you saw the Miss St game. LSU had a total of 337 yards of offense. Harris was 9/14 for 71 yards.

The previous game for Miss St they gave up 415 yards to Southern Miss. Miss St. did shut down Southern Miss running game but they did throw for over 300 yards.

Not sure you last years game when LSU got behind and we HAD TO THROW - Harris was 6/9 for 140 yards and 2 TDs. As a team we threw for 341 yards and lost. Were really never in that game because we couldn't move the ball on the ground (89 yards rushing - 2.5 YPC) and control the clock.

Do you think that Southern Miss throwing in 44 times might be because they averaged 2.8 YPC and they were facing a double-digit deficit 2:45 into the 2nd half for the remainder of the entire half?

LSU has come out and taken control of both their games this year and did what they do best. As long as they do that, LSU will throw the ball sparingly. If Harris takes every snap and ends up with 800 yards and 4 TDs I guarantee you LSU will be undefeated.
