re: To me, the most intriguing West battle is Auburn and LSU.

Sean White was 19 for 25 for 235 yards passing against DBU.

Last season’s defense was a generic 3 – 4 defense because last year was Aranda’s first season, and at that time last year when we played Auburn it was still early in the season and it still was not elite yet. This season’s defense, on the other hand, will be the Aranda 3 – 4 defense, which is a completely different animal altogether from last season’s 3 – 4 generic defense. I hope Stidham can play with LSU defenders all up in his face because if he hesitates he will be sacked and if he makes a mistake he will be intercepted. For your sake, I hope Stidham can play well under pressure because when you guys come to Baton Rouge this season, he is going to face pressure like he has never imagined before.

Moreover, the days of LSU’s offense being one dimensional are finally also over. Thanks to Coach Canada our new offense is a pro-style spread offense, that is specifically designed to keep defenses off balance, back on their heels, and guessing. There will be no more loading the box to stop Guice anymore. If you guys load the box to stop Guice, it will open up other opportunities for Coach Canada to create mismatches or to out leverage you guys. It’s going to be a much more dynamic offense than the one you guys have grown so fond of over the years.

Indeed, LSU is going from having the most antiquated offense in the SEC for years to one of the most cutting edge and innovative offenses ever created in college football history. Hopefully, it will work as well as it did last year when Coach Canada was at Pittsburg last season and beat Clemson with that same offense 43 to 42. It should work very well in the SEC too because LSU has far better skill guys than Coach Canada had to work with at Pittsburgh last season.
