LSU @ Texas Analysis: LSU Offense

[DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt 12301]

When you find yourself screaming 'just look at what we did against Georgia Southern!' you should probably be in wait and see mode. but i get it, for years you've felt like the only thing holding you back from greatness was a modern offense. that you think in week 2 of said offense you're going to confuse a defense that defends offenses week in and week out that have forgotten more about the spread than your rhodes scholars learned this past offseason is fucking rich.

Gotcha.  I mentioned before that one of my sons graduated from UT and I have donated to the school.  I think it is a fine place.  I harbor no ill will to any in longhorn nation.  I live in the DFW area.  I enjoy college football and have been a fan of LSU since the early 70s (Cholly Mac).  I wish the best for the longhorns after the game saturday and may neither team sustain any significant injuries.

Cheers.

OK.  I just look at the scores from last year and chuckle to myself.  We get a chance to sort it out Saturday.  Fair enough?

it's been years since we've seen a flood of mouthbreathers like this. not with ND, not with Georgia...I really can't remember the last time an opposing fanbase has run over here to flap their gums like this. how about you head back to your board for the rest of the week, you've let us all know exactly what you think. now piss off.

Their starting O-line had a ton of experience. The youngest guy on that line was a 4 year starter. No doubt there was a talent gap in that game, but for our DL to put on that kind of pressure against a OL that had seen a lot of time, including Clemson's studly DL last year, I feel much better about us getting pressure with fewer blitzes

----------------------------------------------

I want to add onto this very good point.

There is a fallacy going around that LSU could easily throw on Georgia Southern as they lack a secondary to stop it, while other secondaries (Texas being the most vocal) will not be void of talent (just experience).

This is simply false in every way. Burrow craved up a very good pass defense of Georgia Southern. Did you know that in 2018 Georgia Southern was #54 in pass defense nationally? That’s better than Texas at #112. But Texas plays in the wide-open pass happy Big12, so the comparison is not fair.... Georgia Southern also ranked ahead of Auburn and Texas A&M.

But Texas is DBU... talent is so deep. Did you see Jalen Green this week! It doesn’t matter who goes up against our CB because they practice against the best WRs in college football every day. They are all 6’6” and run like deers. No team will have better WRs. These are all things Texas fans AND analysts have said or written in the past 3 weeks. It confusing because...

@White Tiger

Surly is like a bar in the rough part of town. There is no patience for the things for which there is no patience. There is a great deal of expertise and insight. And piles of inside jokes. The best way to learn the difference between the insight and the jokes (and the idiocy and the filler) is to lurk. Engaging boldly before you have the lay of the land is certainly a choice, but suburban soccer dads who get cussed out and kicked in the ass while trying to explain things to bikers at the biker bar often leave without truly appreciating who was the fool. Peace, regards, see you after the game, etc.

Did you seriously just come in here with raw total statistical rankings of a Sun Belt team?

Georgia Southern was #96 nationally last year in adjusted total passing per attempt (compared to Texas at #29). They were #73 in passing SP+ defense (compared to #37 for Texas). Only a fool would think Georgia Southern's pass defense last year was better than Texas, let alone Auburn. This was a really really bad post. You should feel bad. Really really bad.

JB, is this true:

OU #1 offense scored 45 and 39 
Ok. State #13 offense scored 38 
West Virginia # 10 offense Scored 42 
Texas Tech #16 offense scored 34 on them. 

Seems like a high average score for a solid defense to surrender.  What are your thoughts?

45 and 39 were the 5th and 4th fewest points OU scored all year.  Only Iowa St, Alabama, and Army allowed fewer.

38 from OSU were the 6th fewest (below their season average).

42 from WVU were their 5th most - and above their season average.  Definitely a disappointing game.

Texas Tech averaged 37 points a game .

My thoughts are that LSU hasn't come close to playing the number or quality of spread offenses that Texas faces every season.   Its going to be incredibly interesting to see just how 'new' and 'innovative' this LSU offense can be when they're facing a defense who sees the same shit every week of conference play.  Maybe it doesn't matter and LSU athletes on offense are just better. 

Or maybe the LSU defense is so superior physically that it just doesn't matter what Sam Ehlinger does at QB. 

But I doubt it.

LSU rarely challenged the corners.  In fact 2/3 of their completions were so short they were in front of the LBs much less the DBs.  GSU stayed in a cover 2 shell which made the position predictable and pre-snap reads easy for the QB.  Texas is very much the opposite in terms of defensive design.  My main concern is excessive complexity may confuse some of the younger DBs.

Today I learned from our esteemed visitors that in 2018:

1. The following schools had a better run defense than LSU: Southern Miss, San Diego State, Marshall, Charlotte, Army, Northern Illinois, Air Force, UAB, North Texas, Appalachian State, Troy, Wyoming, Fresno State, and Ohio (not State).
2. The following schools had a better pass defense than LSU: Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, Appalachian State, Bowling Green, Tulsa, Southern Miss, Arkansas State, UAB, Temple, Army, Fresno State, Akron, Louisiana Tech (!), Florida International, Buffalo, Wyoming, UTEP.
3. The following schools had a better overall defense than LSU: Southern Miss, Appalachian State, Army, UAB, Fresno State, Wyoming, San Diego State, Charlotte.

I know this is true because I went to the NCAA website and it says it right there in their stats rankings. LSU was below those teams in yardage allowed per game in those categories.

I'll try to articulate (as an LSU fan) some of my observations and concerns for this game.  Seems this thread has gone sideways.

I think it's hard to really gain a whole lot of perspective on what LSU is capable of doing and what gives them issues on offense from the Georgia Southern game.  LSU has traditionally been a complete mess on offense in which the passing game never looked incredibly sharp, was always devoid of enough options for the QB to take advantage of a short/immediate passing game.  I believe that's why GaSouthern was in the defense they were in.   I also believe that's why LSU spent so much time trying to throw the football.  I was happy with the organization, lack of presnap penalties, the right routes being run, and the ball being delivered on time.  It's what we've been waiting for as fans and should be a minimum expectation for a program with the athletes LSU has.  Shame on them for letting the offense be what it was for so long.  

The Left Tackle position is a massive concern...if Charles goes down.  If plays were blown up, it was usually due to the LT missing an assignment.  Charles didn't play and the combination of his replacements struggled some. While the young guy (Rosenthal) has all the talent in the world, he has work to do in the mental side of things.  I'm also concerned about lack of push from the OL in a few short yardage situations. 

The reality is......this is going to come down to the usual suspects.....Turnovers, 3rd down efficiency, red zone, if one team has a big injury or two,  and who can execute when it counts.  I expect a highly competitive game.  I do feel more confident as an LSU fan after last week, but going into Austin in this type of situation is no cakewalk.  It will be fun to see how it plays out.

1.  I think our o-line will be good enough to keep your front 7 from being disruptive

2.  I think our defense has well-above average talent compared to your offense which will struggle to score.  Probably 2 turnovers for LSU at least.

See other LSU fans, this is how you actually talk football. I agree with your talk about the GaSouthern game. I was pretty impressed that LSU was able to run a moderately up-tempo offense cleanly. I was impressed that your QB seemed to be efficiently and quickly making the right, even if obvious, reads in a new offense. I wasn't impressed with the lack of ability to push back a mediocre d-line or to get off blocks and get to the second level in the run game. The defense dominated a one-dimensional, out-sized, and athletically lacking offense, as it should.

It depends on how you go about it. We regularly tolerate opposing teams' fans. If you come to share your perspective on game atmosphere, the city, highs and lows of the game, etc., you'll be in good company. But if you're just trolling and trashing our team, then you'll get negged to bolovia.
