LSU's offense

I'm sick and tired of our offense being called one dimensional. Yes, we are definitely a run first team, but Les will slowly but surely let Harris get more snaps a game... If you look at his passes everyone of them but two in the auburn game have been on the MONEY. He got excited and overthrew two in the end zone. It happens to young qb's all the time. He will progress throughout these small games. He hasn't thrown any interceptions. His qb rating is phenomenal. He can throw in the pocket, rolling out, and has the speed and elusiveness to be not just a good dual threat, but a great one. So, until he proves to be a disappointment or a failure, I don't want to hear any smack talk about LSU not being able to throw the ball. We haven't needed to.... We've steam rolled with our Running backs, and why not they've torn up the running game. There hasn't been a need to pass. Brandon is going to get nothing but better as the season progresses. All the LSU fans stop worrying, there's nothing to worry about. All other SEC fans that play us, I'd start worrying... Don't believe me watch these next two small opponents and watch him throw. If I'm wrong I'll post and eat crow for my comments.

Ummm....I disagree. Les isn't going to open up the passing game. All the jet sweeps that started last year are his way of avoiding it. And Harris was throwing behind people after he led that one guy into getting leveled. Hopefully neither of those things continue. And, Bama will largely stuff our run. Our D had better bring its A+ game. Harris has great potential, but without purple and gold glasses on, there are multiple sides to the issue.

Les Miles called a pass play once. He didnt much care for it.

Nobody melts after a win like LSU. Nobody.

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.
Say what you want but 337 yards of total offense and Miss St had a chance to win at the end. Mismanaged timeouts and ended up with a longer field goal attempt. Most of the LSU fans can say what they want but at the end of the day, Miss St had a decent chance to pull it off.
Harris may end up being a great duel threat player, passer, etc... but I don't see how you can say that after a 9/14 for 71 yards and 12/17 for 74 yards. He may end up being a great QB but let's don't get hysterical over these stats. He is on pace to pass for about 800 yards and throw 4 TDs.
Slow the roll just a bit.

Yes, this year is going to be completely different than all the other years. And, not only different, but different in the way that you would prefer.

Auburn's defense is ranked 100. Just a reminder.

74 yards against Auburn's secondary. Give Harris the Heisman

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

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
