I'm not dense at all. I know its a sore point and you guys want to deflect but if LSU has a weakness on offense its the passing game. Being ranked dead last in passing offense from a non bias fan doesn't bode well if someone is able to stop the run. As I previously said, that hasn't been easy to do.

What happens if LSU gets down two or three scores? Is anyone confident enough to say Harris would win the game?


We aren't Baylor but Harris has been very good and gotten better every week. It's certainly not the weakness that it's been in years past. You are very dense if cannot see that

Harris has made some big time plays this year

Perhaps but my guess is less times than not.

Well, Harris has certainly shown the ability to throw bombs well...see Florida game. Our passing game earlier in the season was a huge concern. We still need to work on the shorter passing game, but in the last three games (which included by far the best D we've played), Harris has 700+ yards, 7 TDs and 0 interceptions.

Not a weekness but derrick henry plays a bit like khiry robinson. Does anyone else agree?

Our special teams freaks me out. I don't know if we have a 50 yard punt all year and our kick returns luckily haven't cost us yet but will if it doesn't get cleaned up.

Harris has shown flashes of brilliance but I haven't seen a full consistent game that we had to pass to win. We'll need to pass to win this one

I posted over 4 years ago that LSUs passing was a problem because we have the players and schemes to shut down the run. You guys didn't cross the 50 yard line in the NC game. The only difference is its four years later. LSUs offensive numbers are almost exactly the same.

That's exactly what SC, Florida, and WKU did, or at least tried to do. I really don't think you watched much of those games.

Brandon Harris is 8th in the country in yards per completion.

Consensus agree for LSU. Secondary blown coverage, and special teams with the exclusion of field goals

Against a real defense? We likely lose. Of course, this is just about always always true no matter the team that's down two scores with six minutes to go against a real defense.

1. Special Teams
2. Giving up big plays in the secondary
3. D-Line depth

What a fricking dumbass. Harris is also #116 in pass attempts with 128. There are 12 players in the nation that have thrown it over 300 times. But Harris is #23 in YPA, #17 in QB rating and #1 in TD/INT ratio. By the way he is ahead of Chad Kelly in all of those categories. Total yards usually mean you can't run the ball or your defense sucks and you're always playing from behind. That hardly describes LSU.

Auburn ran all over the Bears. Fournette Will crush. I predict more broken ankles.

The Florida game was decent. The title is about weaknesses. If you are going to make LSU beat you the goal is to sell out to stop the run and force Harris to beat you. Fortunately for LSU, so far this year he hasn't been asked(hasn't had to) do that


You really should stop - you clearly haven't got a clue. None.
