Describe your frustration level should Les name Jennings starter vs A&M?

Rice put up 480 yards on A&M this year, I was at the game. Rice, yes Rice, had more total yards than a&m did in that game.

Anyone going to the game? Anyone wanting tickets to the game?

 

Big problem is "we are going to run on the ball on these boys" is they know it, we know it, North America knows it, and I am pretty sure countries who have never heard of football knows it by now. In games against teams like the gumps we can pull it off because we are jacked up for those games. Games like R-kansas when we don't really give a damn.......well you know what happens. Running the ball all the time isn't the answer and we have to have a passing game of some kind to keep teams honest. I hope we run the ball down the faggies throat but I am not so sure. I still say Harris gives us the better option because he IMHO is the better passer and, as I have said a thousand times, can hand the ball off just as good as AJ.

 

Agree. Haven't shown the ability to do anything else, anyway.

 

I don't relish the sour taste that leaves in my mouth. So Les will again stick with the bread and butter plays

 

Most teams run defense improves drastically when they are repeatedly allowed to put 8-9 in the box.

 

This will just be another opportunity for Jennings to showcase his talent and Harris to get gain experience with different SEC benches.

 

How would you know?? I've never seen either of them play!! Put o top of that, 80% run plays, ... you could put anyone in and toss the ball to McGee or Fornette. That really doesn't take a lot of skill.

OTOH ... put it in the context of my comment, that CLM has said so, he prefers a running QB .. but he's putting them in a pro-style offense. This is an admitted bias, that probably entered in with regards to Jennings jumping Rivers or Rettig last year ... cause it damn sure wasn't his passing ability.

As for taking snaps ... I didn't see Harris take many snaps at all this year, except at the first of the season and AU ..... he obviously wasn't ready. ... but neither was/is Jennings, at least not in a pro-style offense. Jenning's passes are pathetic, poorly placed and usually behind. Rivers or Rettig may not have been any better ... like I said, I"ve never seen them play, and neither have you, but their passing game couldn't be any worse than what we've seen out of Jennings.

IJMO ... if it's "reps" you are concerned about, I think we would have been as well under Rivers or Rettig, and let Jennings and Harris get thos practice reps that you seem to think they need. Funny thing though ... J Winston, J Football, and others ... all RS Freshman don't seem to have that problem.

Maybe its that they [LSU QBs] all suck ... and it really doesn't matter.

 

of course a bag of bricks could have been better at times and should have been tried at some point. no one cares who was on the bench. anyone else on the bench needed reps and jennings needed to sit at times.

so yeah, im in the camp of theres no way any of them are a worse passer than ajj. anyone above 12 can throw better opposite handed on many of his bad throws.

also, anyone else would have likely improved much more than jennings has.

thats the worst part of it all. next year its the same jordan jefferson groundhog day show all over again. for 6 of les' 11 years. thats rather depressing.
