Are you tired of hearing about LSU’s quarterback situation? The conversation isn’t likely to stop any time soon, so get used to it. The Tigers had a rough season throwing the ball, leading to fans questioning the coaching staff and offensive players tweeting their frustration at the conclusion of LSU’s season.

How’s the outlook for next season?

2014 quarterback: Anthony Jennings, 1,611 yards, 11 TD, 7 INT, 48.9 completion percentage

2015 favorite: No favorite

Others involved: Brandon Harris, rising sophomore; 2014 stats: 452 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT, 25-of-45 passing

Level of concern (1-10): 10 — LSU was held back by its quarterback issues in 2014. While there was inexperience at wide receiver, there was enough talent that the passing game should have been at least threatening, especially considering how potent the Tigers’ rushing attack was. Instead, LSU finished with the worst passing offense in the SEC and ranked 116th in the nation in the category. Jennings made no progress throughout the year and looked as lost as ever in LSU’s bowl loss. Meanwhile, Les Miles continually said that Brandon Harris, who impressed in a few relief outings, would get his chance. After a disastrous start against Auburn, Harris didn’t see any significant action and didn’t play any snaps in four of LSU’s final five games. While it was questionable that the freshman sat on the bench throughout Jennings’ struggles, it raised questions as to why he couldn’t beat out Jennings despite being the more talented player of the two. LSU could definitely help its own cause by altering the offensive philosophy a bit, but that doesn’t ease the concerns about the quarterbacks’ skill levels.

When it will be decided: With Miles calling the shots, who knows? There have been rumors of transfer quarterbacks flying around this week involving Notre Dame’s Everett Golson and Ohio State’s Braxton Miller. Neither of those players have been released by their current team, but if they are things could change drastically. Jennings kept a stranglehold on the position for nearly all of 2014, although fans waited with bated breath every week for Harris to get into the game. Based on how things went in 2014, it would be surprising if there was a starter named from the current crop of quarterbacks before the opener, and even then it could be subject to change.

Biggest ally: The running game. LSU won eight regular season games and averaged 27 points per game despite completing only half of its passes for the season, a relatively impressive accomplishment in the SEC. They did it by leaning on the running game, handing the ball of 69 percent of the time. While the Tigers lose running backs Kenny Hilliard and Terrence Magee, as well as offensive linemen Elliott Porter and La’el Collins, the rushing attack should be just as strong next year behind Leonard Fournette and a slightly retooled line.
