News about LSU’s quarterback situation is flying around right now. Two big-name players from the Midwest, Everett Golson of Notre Dame and Braxton Miller of Ohio State, are reportedly interested in transferring to play for the Tigers in 2015. Meanwhile, LSU scheduled an official visit from four-star quarterback/athlete Torrance Gibson, an Ohio State commit.

Everyone seems to have already forgotten about freshman and former five-star prospect Brandon Harris’ potential, and fans wish they could forget Anthony Jennings’ 2014 season.

LSU’s issues at the quarterback position span Les Miles’ decade in Baton Rouge. But it remains a mystery as to what went wrong in the LSU passing game in 2014.

While Jennings is known for being a hard worker, one that Harris apparently couldn’t outwork in practice, he hasn’t been able to overcome two fatal flaws. The first: inaccuracy. Jennings completed only 48.9 percent of his passes this year, and many of the throws he did miss, he missed badly. Jennings sprayed passes out of bounds, into the ground and everywhere else aside from his receivers hands.

He was also indecisive, far too often locking onto top target Travin Dural and looking nowhere else. Jennings’ problems moving through his progressions led to the Tigers giving up a sack on 8.5 percent of their drop backs, ranking them 117th in the NCAA.

But Jennings wasn’t helped at all by the Tigers’ scheme. While they ran the ball far more often than not — 69 percent of the Tigers’ offensive snaps were runs — Jennings’ relative strengths as a passer weren’t maximized in offensive coordinator Cam Cameron’s scheme. In 2013, Cameron’s first year at LSU, the Tigers had a pro-style quarterback in Zach Mettenberger, one who could take a three- or five-step drop and sling it downfield.

Jennings has a good arm, but is not an accurate downfield thrower. He got a few opportunities to throw on the run, but that wasn’t a huge part of LSU’s game plan. Cameron has talked since the regular season finale of not just teaching Jennings and Harris to be better quarterbacks, but also to play within his system and adapting his system to fit their skills.

LSU began to adapt a bit, giving some read-option looks against Texas A&M that helped Jennings look like a far better player. The quarterbacks LSU is reportedly courting would all be a fit for a more read-option based scheme as well, although Golson and Miller are both far more adept and flinging it downfield than Jennings has shown to be.

Maybe, though, it’s time for Cameron to reevaluate how he operates and adapt to his personnel.
