What made Milroe run as much as he did Saturday?

You can’t deny that Milroe played completely different than he has all season.
He was not only running intentionally, but looking for contact on a few runs.
Did he finally come to realization that he’s going to have to be that guy for us, or we’re we hiding that part of our offense all season?

It was coach's plan to save him for now

Designed Qb runs for the most part. Although he did scramble away from pressure and take off a few times. The last TD was one of those times I believe when he scrambled left, faked a throw in the flats, and sprinted in the end zone from around 20 yards out

Lots of designed runs and stepping up in the pocket was clearly a point of emphasis for the bye.

LSUs defense suuuuuucks and his scrambling windows were much larger

They were working with him the past 2 weeks to get him to step up in the pocket and be little more decisive. It Just run when there's nothing open. This caught LSU off guard because of his reptuation of holding on to the ball too long. So I think the coaches was smart to hold him back a litle until now.

He read my comments on here and then did exactly what I recommended

(1) From reading stuff and talking to people who know what they are talking about, the pulled hammy stuff the week of the A&M game was not a made up rumor. It wasn't severe, but it was definitely there and it made them much more cautious in using him in the run game (and I'd assume in him escaping the pocket).
(2) That got fully better and the staff focused on both his mindset and the playcalling to make his legs a factor moving forward. As you said, LSU's defense sucks, but there have been open running lanes on pass plays all year. Saturday was the first time he aggressively pushed the open gaps.......and if he gets going int the open field then he is liable to make any defense look stupid.
We will see this weekend, but if he's now fully ready to take off when the opportunity is there, our offense becomes pretty frickin terrifying.

Oddly enough, to me, his deep passing game was bad. He did throw some that could easily go the other way...some into double/triple coverage BUT his short and intermediate throws looked better ( except for that Bond so wide open he could have used walked in... But I'll chalk that up to being so wide open it blew everyone's mind) a slant pass? And on the money? There's work still but each week is better...and as long as it's better than UK... Then Bama will go to ATL
Most complete game by far though

I liked seeing that Notre Dame box formation that looked almost like the victory formation

It’s November, they’ve cracked the can open on that part of the playbook.

Very well could’ve been giving small parts of the playbook each week, so all of the guys could execute the plays at a winning level. Not too much too fast and causing some confusion. Also, limit the amount of unnecessary hits on Milroe for the long season. More called runs and climbing up in the pocket instead of immediately bailing out left or right opened more lanes for him.

Gameplan. We knew we had to score a lot of points this game and putting the ball in the air is more of a risk when you can just run it for 10-15 yards a pop. Milroe on several 3rd and longs just took off and easily got it every time. They couldn't stop it so we did what worked.
Milroe still needs to use his legs more in the future but I don't think we'll see this type of game plan again tbh.

I’d like to think it was me screaming at the television like a semi functioning lunatic. Realistically it had to be the common sense realization that trying to turn as kid who runs like the wind into a pocket passer is peak crazy.
