State fans, is Leach running his usual offense?

There is a reason you typically dont ever see air raid offense in the SEC.
You frick around and throw an interception, SEC teams can usually capitalize. I dont expect to blow the doors off that squad, but I do expect something like 2018.
Coach O has never been one for coach speak, he tells it like it is. Apparently our defense is very stout.

Yes, that's why we hired him.

We'll give it a few years and see if it is successful. I am cautiously optimistic. It's an interesting experiment to say the least.

I certainly hope so, and I'm sure there will be struggles, but I think many people think the air raid is less adaptable than it really is.
When he has a talented RB, he'll throw lots of shovels and screens. When he has more talent on the outside, his attack is more vertical.

I mean, one of his middling Washington State team almost beat SEC champion Auburn and he just lost by a field goal to Alabama while at Texas Tech.
Obviously if there are turnovers then there will be problems, but isn't that the same in any offense? Like if a running team fumbles the ball then an SEC team can usually capitalize, so I don't see what makes the Air Raid any different?

That's a ridiculous statement. LSU ran a variant of the air raid last year.

LSU ran 90% of Leach's Air Raid last year.
State is going to gain yards and score points and fail to stop people. It will be exciting. They'll lose to the big boys this year, but at some point, they will pick someone off.
The question you should be asking is actually: "Is LSU a big boy this year?"

We saw Leach back in the Big 12...he can score on anybody. In 2016 he hung 59 points on #6 Oklahoma..and got beat by a late touchdown. If a team has any weakness in the LB/DB area..it will be a long afternoon for someone. People in the SEC, especially LSU, aren’t paying attention. Leach has a veteran transfer QB with a career 62.5% passing completion rate. Leach’s air raid offense doesn’t require NFL quality receivers, just an accurate QB. Just like LSU last year with Burrow’s.

Your defense looks stout because you lost the best college quarterback ever, The OC, nearly the entire Ol, and the best WR in the draft. You were average by LSU standards on defense last year and lost a shite ton off of that defense with the draft and opt outs. Leach is running his offense and will score on LSU. Our defense is going to be trash and LSU will score a bunch on us. It will be a 38-28 type game with LSU scoring late to ice it IMO.

Which version of his system?
When he has a back, he throws it less. I looked up Hill last year. I believe he ran an average of 16 attempts per game. Maybe it was 18.
Under Leach, he will rush it about 8-10 times more per game.

I hadn't seen LSU this scared since 21-0

Leach ran for 300+ yards on my Ducks. He takes what you give.
