LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings says he ignores fan criticism
Jennings takes most of blame for struggles, but says he doesn’t listen to fan criticism
BY ROSS DELLENGER| rdellenger@theadvocate.comAnthony Jennings is taking the blame for LSU’s passing woes, but he’s not paying attention to the criticism.
The Tigers’ starting quarterback is ignoring the season-long wave of criticism from fans. It crashed down on him the hardest following LSU’s 17-0 loss at Arkansas.
“You can’t listen to fan criticism — either good or bad,” he said. “It’s just not who we are. In the (football operations) building, coaches, teammates, guys around me ... those are the guys that really matter. Off the field, (things) don’t really matter in my process of getting better as a teammate, as a player and as a person.”
Jennings, a true sophomore, has completed just 47 percent of his passes and has thrown for an average of 123 yards per game this season.
The Tigers (7-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) enter the Thanksgiving night game against Texas A&M (7-4, 3-4) with a passing offense that ranks 111th out of 125 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
“The problems with the passing game is more on me than anybody else,” Jennings said Thursday.

No
one I know is blaming Anthony Jennings for his lack of passing ability
playing quarterback on the LSU football team. Because we the LSU fans
can see that he is doing the best job that he can. But the true problem
is that what best that Jennings does is not scoring touchdowns and the
LSU football team cannot win the football game without scoring enough
points. No! The LSU tiger fans are upset with a head college football
Coach who is making $4 million a year. Who keep playing the wrong guy
at QB and it is Les Miles that the LSU fans are booing, not Jennings who
is simply of course Mr. in between and not personal towards him at all.
It is Les Miles that we are tired of for real because who in their
right mind would not have played Harris more at QB, helping him to catch
on quicker. But instead Les Miles played a guy who can't pass good
enough. Les Miles is stupid and that is what the LSU fans are booing.

It is in excusable to threaten this young man. I'm glad Miles said his offense is predictable, only took him all season.
