The deep ball to Ruggs was beautiful, and he made some big time plays in tough circumstances.


The question is if we are wanting the best running backs, the best receivers, linebackers...etc, why are we settling for a qb who is just plain OK...aj, coker, and even sims had a beautiful deep ball that is non existent with Hurts which really is killing our running game (LSU played with everyone near the line and shut us down...has nothing to do with holding back anything but has everything to do with the other team not afraid of any deep threat whatsoever) Yes, I think Jalen had his best passing game vs LSU...but it still honestly sucked...All I am saying is that we have a guy that can put fear in a defense with not only his running ability but more so his passing with Tua...There is absolutely no way we can have Tua ride the bench next year as much as he has this year unless Jalen really improves to that level

Just look at how many 3 and outs we had last night...our offense was absolutely sluggish for the most part which is inexcusable with how much talent we have literally everywhere...Sure, there were some missed pass interference calls and drops by our receivers, but we have seen Hurts' ceiling...just haven't seen Tua's yet
