September 8, 20196 yr On 7/27/2019 at 12:39 AM, sushihorn said: Receivers Burrow will have some athletic WRs to throw to; Jefferson at the X position is a tough match up but again like Georgia they don’t have anything equal to what Texas sees weekly in the Big XII at wideout. That is especially true in terms of reliability and diagnosing the defense. The receiver corps looks impressive on paper but they are much better athletes than they are pass catchers. They have more size than Georgia (6’6”, 6’4”, 6’2”, 6’1 and 5’ll” coming back in 2019) but less speed and quickness though still quite good for their size. They also aren’t great route runners and had a lot of drops last season. Soph year John Burt is a pretty good comp for much of LSU’s WR unit. Expect some spectacular catches combined with even more drops and poorly run routes. Line The O-Line is enormous but a bit heavy footed. Projected starters based on the spring game are #68 Charles at LT (305 lbs), #72 Magee LG (335), #79 Cushenberry C (309), #68 Lewis RG (322) and #76 Deculus RT (321). Charles is solid but Deculus looks particularly vulnerable. He’s an OG playing out of position and he got burned regularly by speed rushers. That is really a bad situation against defenses that like to bring pressure from the outside. He’s going to be lined up against Ossai quite a bit and things could get ugly unless LSU keeps a TE in to help Deculus pass protect. The Guards are slow but powerful. They remind me a lot of Vahe – better run blockers than pass protectors but sometimes give up penetration into the backfield. Watch some games and you’ll see that there is definitely more than a little bit of Fatball™ being played in Baton Rouge. The O-Line can make crushing run blocks at times but they also give up an inordinate number of negative plays to opposing defenses. They gave up 35 sacks in 2018, which is big considering the low number of pass attempts. The sack ratio of almost 9.0% is appallingly high and one will usually terminate a drive. They also gave up a total of 89 TFLs. That was a problem for an offense that relies on running the ball and a negative play is usually a drive killer. The 54 non-sack TFLs represent a loss on almost 10% of LSU’s rush attempts. There is a good reason their offense is not very efficient. Coaching and Summary The offensive play calling tends to stick stubbornly with the run even when it’s not appropriate. LSU will often continue to run into stacked fronts and this can be seen in their bowl game. They faced one of the worst rushing defenses in the country - #117 UCF. The Knights loaded the box and played man-free coverage behind it. That meant 1 more defender than the offense could block. The result was pretty predictable – 3.1 YPC for LSU and they ran the ball 52 times into a brick wall. When Burrow threw the ball he did pretty well since the coverage was predictable and he could wait for receivers to come open because the defense was prioritizing stopping the run over pass rushing. Once the LSU coaches saw this happening they should have thrown the ball until UCF backed out and pulled a player out of the box and into coverage. Orlando has always schemed well against conventional teams that like to run the ball and he’s great at scheming extra players into the box. How will LSU respond when they line up in 11 personnel and see a 3-2 front with and NB overhang defender inside shade over the slot and a box safety 7 yds off the ball? Do they treat that as 5 box defenders or 7? USC couldn’t solve it and neither could Georgia. One additional factor is that LSU returns a lot from last year’s quality squad. But I do not expect LSU’s offense to be a big problem unless Texas turns the ball over or gives up big plays in the kicking game. If that happens enough times they can play with a lead and grind the defense down eventually. If not I’ve got them down for 13-17 points. @bigcigar @Walden Ponderer@Deguello @Spider2YBanana @utee94 @Burt Macklin @HtownHorn @GoldAppleCorps @Magus Ossis @Hiphopopotamos @Tex Long @Tex Pete @Zavala @Deej @Pig Bellmont @BigBenBamboozle @Valmy77 @Katfid54 @Dahobbs @Huckleberry @totallynotabuttpirate @Nivek @JBJ @immamac So about tonight.......

September 9, 20196 yr Burrow was going to have to ace the master class in playing spread to win. He did. Texas and LSU played one heck of a rough game in the non-con. We need more schools willing to schedule these matchups. Here's the ugly part. If both schools keep playing like this, we're either going to play each other again, or the selection committee is going to have to really screw someone over.
September 9, 20196 yr Really awesome game Saturday. I had a chance to watch it again yesterday. This is the what has become a rarity in college football....epic programs playing in a home and home early in the season. It was a very competitive game with some incredible individual efforts. Turns out, the LSU offense was what they appeared to be. I'm still concerned about push in short yardage with the running game, but very excited about the timing and execution of the passing game. The tone of the game changed with the long 19 play drive that Texas put together. It was a gut check and showed Texas' ability to respond to adversity. Tip of the cap to Texas for finding ways to respond every time it seemed like LSU was going to pull away. Just a very fun game to watch...especially when as fans we are so thirsty for good football. Good luck the rest of the season.
