2.) A more creative offense. Last year LSU got embarrassed because they were owned on the line. As per usual, Les Miles refused to adjust and LSU looked the fool. LSU can not run it up the middle in the I all game and expect to win. Our line is not good enough for that. However, Coach Ensminger has shown that LSU will be more diverse on offense. We look a lot different when both #5 & #7 are on the field. LSU is more likely to try and go east and west to open the middle than ever before.


3.) An improved passing game. LSU has a QB who doesn't lock onto targets and fail to get off their first read. If LSU can hit some mid range passes out of the slot and on the edge, it only makes life easier on the running game. I just hope we don't try to force passes down the field when it is not needed just to try and clear the box. I can see some deep stuff turning into INTs real quick. I don't think we need to throw 20+ yards down the field if we can regularly get 6-8 yards and create short running downs.

These 2 have been proven false. But I'll give you Tiger stadium and a team that hasn't quit yet
