My post from last week about La Tech was generally well-received, so I wanted to do a post about LSU. Plus, inviting the mouthbreathing Tiger fans squatting on our boards to read 2,000 words might occupy them from now until game time. As with last time, my analysis is flawed and underresearched. I watched a single LSU game—LSU vs. Georgia Southern’s matchup from last week, and I turned it off when LSU took their starters out. Here were my takeaways: What to expect from LSU’s offense? Much ink has been spilled about LSU’s offseason offensive “turnaround” and hiring of a glorified grad assistant from LSU. I’m not going to rehash their staff, scheme, or those details. Instead, I’ll get right to the personnel. I will say that one thing that was apparent from watching the film was how much more tempo LSU ran their offense with this year. There was no huddling and an apparent emphasis on moving very quickly offensively. Quarterback: Everyone knows LSU’s QB is Joe Burrow. But what is he? Is he a poor, Cajun (tautological?) man’s version of Sam Ehlinger? Is he the dregs of Ohio State’s necrosis under Urban Meyer? Is he a dark horse for the Heisman and possibly the best QB in the SEC? These questions and more… What did I see last week? Frankly, Burrow is extremely accurate in the short passing game. He showed nice accuracy a few times on the Power/Slant RPO that LSU ran several times He hit a really nice backshoulder throw on a switch route to take LSU up 21-0: Burrow has a strong preference for waiting for plays to develop deep, then hitting wide open check down reads, if he’s given time and space to do so. Seriously, if Orlando decides to bring pressure, our D better get to the QB quickly, because Burrow is more than happy to pick up 5 or 6 yards on check downs. Burrow’s arm strength is a question mark. He does not have a cannon and his deep throws flutter and fail on him. There were times against GSU that Burrow had a receiver wide open downfield, but his passes took so long to get to his target that defenders were able to catch up to the receiver to break up the pass If he does not have an open receiver, he’s not great at deciding to throw the ball away or try to pick up a few yards on the ground. He will try to force balls into tight windows, if he doesn’t have a wide open checkdown he can find: Running Backs: LSU’s starter snaps against GSU went to Clyde Edwards-Helaire (22) and Lanard Fournette (27). Edwards has some wiggle to him, great burst, and decisive cuts. But he’s not a big tackle breaker or anything otherworldly: Fournette appears to be LSU’s version of Kyle Porter: Let’s hope he gets starter carries again this week. As mentioned above, Burrow really leaned on the RBs in the checkdown passing game—much more so than in the running game which (as discussed below) wasn’t great against GSU. They also ran several RB screens. Here's one to Lanard Fournette: Seriously, doesn’t he just look and run and get tackled like Kyle Porter? Here's some more screenage: Offensive Line: Surprisingly, given everything I’d heard about LSU’s O-line’s strengths and weaknesses, LSU’s OL actually kept a cleaner pocket in pass pro than they did a good job opening up running lanes. LSU struggled running the ball all night. But Burrow had plenty of time to throw. With that said, if LSU’s OL has one big weakness, it’s the immobility of their offensive tackles Same play from All-22: Potential for Texas’s Defense: This is the play I just showed above, but I want to do a deeper dive into it, because it’s one thing Orlando’s D did a very nice job of against La Tech: Note that the play above is very similar to plays where our D had two picks last week (one was the pick 6 by Ossai that was called back; the other was Overshown’s diving interception late in the game). If Burrow isn’t careful with this throw this weekend, it could be a big momentum swing for Texas. Notice that here, the overhang defender drops straight back up the seam—covering grass—even though there’s no receiver in the vicinity. Compare that to how Ossai makes a similar drop: Compare J’Mar Smith’s “look off” of that route with Burrow’s. They’re almost identical. J’Mar focuses on the curl route developing in the middle of the field, thinking he’s frozen the safety. It’s not clear whether he even sees Ossai. Then he rifles the ball to the curl route at the sticks, but Ossai breaks on the ball as soon as it’s thrown. In the Burrow version of the play, there’s even less deception, because the side of the field where the ball is thrown has only a single route being run. Although Burrow “looks off” the safeties to that side of the field, there’s really no work he’s doing there, because there are no other routes that should have occupied them. And here’s Overshown’s even better drop: Note how fixated La Tech’s QB is on the overhang defender rushing from the edge. He sees him come upfield and thinks he must have a wide open window to hit the flat route. But Overshown beats the flat route to the spot of the ball. What to Expect from LSU’s Defense: You’ve heard a lot about LSU’s defense this week. Most of it is true. Their LBs and secondary are really fucking fast and they hit really fucking hard. Defensive Backs: I’ll start with Safety, because Grant Delpit is the real deal. Watch him run this play down (he’s standing right next to the official, about 9 yards off the ball and shaded over the strongside guard): (That probably should’ve been a late hit, but still) I mean, fuck. The other safety is Ja’Coby Stevens who I would’ve talked about more if Grant Delpit weren’t on the team: LSU’s secondary philosophy (at least against GSU) was to stop the run at all costs, play lock-down D with the corners and have the safeties keep everything in front of them and not miss tackles. Sound familiar? LSU starts true freshman Derek Stingley, who also had punt/kick return duties for them. He held up fine against Georgia Southern’s wholly inept attack, but how will he do manned up on Collin Johnson? Linebackers: LSU’s DL does such a good job of occupying blockers that LSU’s LBs often get a free run into the hole. Look at how early the WLB (Damone Clark, 35) gets to the hole. But he stops his feet and catches the RB in the hole, rather than running through the hole and causing a TFL. Defensive Line: Rashard Lawrence is a stud. We better hope Parker Braun is ready to pass protect at a high level, so this doesn’t happen: Glen Logan is the other DE in the 3-4 front. He missed some tackles against GSU: The nose tackle is Shelvin Tyler and is number 72. He looks like the kind of defensive lineman who should be wearing number 72, too: Chaisson is the rush LB (think Ossai’s role). He gets talked about a lot, especially on here, given his recruiting history. He’s Still, we should definitely block him: The DL is very large, though, and susceptible to draws/screens. Although when we run a draw, we have to hope our running back does not become a Dead, like this GSU player (Chaisson on the hit): Conclusion: Unsurprisingly, LSU’s defense is really stout. It’s secondary, especially, can really fly around and make plays. Our coaches need to make sure Sam doesn’t take a clean shot from Delpit or Chaisson (who will both, by the way, definitely make dirty hits: Already pointed out the Delpit late hit above, but here it is again: And check out the crown of Chaisson’s helmet here: Aranda’s defense looks A LOT like Texas’. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. But where Texas’ D-line is built to be a super quick, attacking and stunting line, LSU’s is designed to hold up against the Big run-centric OL of the SEC. Can Texas take advantage of that by getting the lines moving laterally to wear out or negate LSU’s strengths? And even if they can, how does Texas neutralize LSU’s speed at safety? I think back to the ways Gundy and Holgorsen attacked Orlando’s offense last year (lots of outside zone; lots of RPO routes premised on making safeties choose between run and pass responsibilities; and forcing one-on-one mismatches in the passing game through formation choices). Will Herman force LSU to pick their poison the same way? Do we have enough RB talent to spam LSU with the outside zone that oSu and WVU hammered Texas with? Can Texas keep the pocket clean long enough for Sam to let LSU’s defense overpursue and find the open man? Those are all of the questions for Texas’ O against LSU’s D. But flipping the script: how the fuck is LSU going to score points on Texas? LSU’s O is a horrible mismatch for what Orlando does with his defense, and the number of times they were forced to throw the ball against GSU may indicate some systemic problems with the run game install this year. LSU’s attempt to “revolutionize” their offense by installing decade-old RPOs that have already been schemed over by DCs should terrify no one. I am so fucking excited for this game. Texas 28 – LSU 13.

You've pretty clearly never watched a Tom Herman called offense. That dude can scheme at least 14 points out of thin air.
-
Egregiously. Good catch. Hope Herman sees that and tells the refs to watch it on Saturday.
-
They're going to need to find a quarterback, first.
-
Yep. That's the point of the counter/complimentary play, right? If every play you run looks exactly the same, the defense THINKS it knows what's going on and starts trying to cut corners to shut down the play they think is coming. So they abandon their assignments because they think they know what they're doing and how to stop what they think is coming. And then, oops, the slot receiver is running wide open down the seam.
-
I'm definitely expecting a pop pass seam route to Bewwer for a TD or two.
-
Maybe
-
Watching the film, I was absolutely shocked at how poor their run blocking was against GSU. To your second point, we spammed bubble to Duvernay so many times against La Tech (especially in the opening drive), I wonder if Herman's first play is a fake bubble, fly route to Eagles? Chip Kelly used to spam Bubble to set it up and he'd then fake the bubble and hit the fly route like this:

Honestly, if your goal really is to just get on TV, photoshopping Desmond Howard into various iconic Chapelle's Show scenes is a pretty good place to start.
