    Honestly, I take back a lot of what I said out of anger after the game. Harris really only had 4 bad throws when there was no pressure. He had several others that were caused by pressure including the cluster at the end. The o-line was the true culprit in this game. They couldn't open holes early on and Harris was under almost constant pressure. Dupre also had probably the worst game of his career and it seemed that every time they had a bad throw it was intended for him. Some of them he should have caught anyway, especially the first interception and the back shoulder throw in the second half.

    On the promising side Harris completed several check down throws as well as a few intermediate routes. This is something we did not see last year out of him.

    I'll say it again, time to circle the wagons, forget all the outside noise and execute the crap that Cam calls. I know it isn't creative and its the same offense the 85 Bears ran but I'm going to be cautiously optimistic until the Florida game. Winning cures all ills, unless you're a minion! LOL

    Harris isn't choosing the short routes. Why aren't the coaches pushing the short routes? Long routes fail too often and require the OL to hold blocks longer.

    I see this video right after I post in another thread about me 'overestimating Harris' potential'.

    Great video and puts things in perspective. The OL is our biggest problem.

    Which is sad considering Miles played OL .

    You know, watching this, LSU lost THIS game because of Brandon Harris. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that the reason LSU has no passing game is because of Harris, I'm talking about this game only and the W or L. Harris threw some perfect passes in this game, but he also threw a lot of shitty ones that if complete LSU wins the game. Doesn't change the fact that the O is outdated and we are seeing the same ole shit every year. Just watch the film.

    Respectfully I disagree. I think LSU would have won that game had Harrs done his job. Does that mean LSU's problem is Harris? No it's Miles and Cam and the offensive scheme.

    I keep hearing and reading how Harris was under heavy pressure all game.....I only saw 3 times where he had any significant pressure on him. All the talk on the Oline not pass blocking I think is not quite so warranted. He had planety time. Only real pressure I saw was the helmet getting pulled off, the one where he was knocked down as he threw, and the final int but even that last one wasnt much pressure just one guy that he got away from pretty easily and had plenty time after that. The rest was just a little shift over move of the pocket with plenty time to throw. Very little actual pressure IMO. I am not saying the Oline played a great game by any means but where is all this pressure I keep hearing about? All I see is him dancing around with ample time to throw and missing badly often. Also not saying Miles isnt to blame hes got to go if hes not willing to adapt to his players or recruit players that fit the system.

    I think there was a little more pressure allowed than you're letting on, but holding onto the ball too long makes the OL look bad. Not to mention, if the D don't respect your passing game they're coming after the QB without hesitation. So QB makes OL look bad. OL makes QB look bad. Coaches make em all look bad.

    Also the deep ball to Dupre that was picked off shouldn't have been thrown into double coverage.

    It makes me wonder is this staff telling him not to tuck it and run? Because there were plenty of occasions where he could have taken off and gained yards.

    Maybe so but where was it? I mentioned the 3 plays in which I saw significant pressure other than those I just don't see significant pressure. There's a few where had t roll out a little or shift the pocket over but when he's got the ball in hands several seconds before and after that and 3 after that I don't consider that to be significant pressure. No argument just asking where yall are seeing all the pressure as I just don't see it outside those 3 plays and even on those 2 of them he had the ball in his hands for nearly 5 seconds before the pressure got there. I just can't see laying as much blame on the oline as has been.
