Nah. You can't pin all the blame on Rosier when countless pass plays were destined to fail from the moment they were designed. For every open receiver he missed there were plays where LSU had a pass rush numbers advantage, 5-7 step drop 4-verts plays with no safety valve against the LSU blitz, plays where the primary read was a low% sideline throw against solid press corners.
Coaches have to coach to their personnel. Richt knows Malik has accuracy issues and he knows the LSU defense is good. He still designed an offense that requires receivers winning 1on1 isolated matchups and accurate vertical passing. Those are inherently low% plays thus you achieve 15/35 passing. Until Richt overhauls his philosophy and system this will continue to be a low% passing game regardless of who is QB. That's the sobering thought that many fans are ignoring.
My man, you get it. Richt is basically asking Rosier to make the throws that open up after you've established a rushing attack and short throws. Do those things and everyone bites on the fake handoff, underneath routes, and your guy one on one has no help and got shook.
We're basically trying to reinvent the wheel by doing it all backwards.
