Well you’re returning 40% of your defensive production
I still Think you’re a year away.
Better than 0% of our offensive scheme production. Nobody seems to understand how much of a challenge it is transitioning from power ground game to the spread. The Texas game comes early and we won't cut you any breaks.. those players have been up against it their entire playing lives.
Burrow can run it... it's the staff, skill players and most importantly the OL I'd be concerned with.
Great decision long term, but the offensive scheme change benefits Texas greatly this year.

You’re thinking wayyy too much into the offensive scheme “change”.
Yes, LSU will be running new concepts, but you don’t win in the SEC without a running game.
If you think LSU isn’t going to run the ball down the throats of your brand new front 7 with our entire OL returning, then you simply need to re-evaluate your football knowledge.

You haven't thought enough based on those statements.

The last time t.u. beat an SEC team at home was 2008. The last time they beat one of the original 10 SEC teams at home was 1984.
How many games have they lost in that time frame?

Did I make a valid point for the tigers?
Absolutely. I just enjoy it when it’s backed up with opinion or stats instead of just bold statements with no reasoning.

The only way that I see LSU struggling is if the team is slow to picking up Brady's offense. Even then, I can see them making adjustments at the half to pull away from Herman and Co.

It will be my luck that LSU fricks up when playing texas.
Will be the only game I support the tigers.

The difference in this game will be simple - Texas simply does not see a defense like LSU has very often in the defenseless BDF. OU's defense is a joke, and the best that Texas will have faced is actually their own players.
That isn't saying much. Texas has a good secondary, but the front seven leaves a LOT to be desired. Especially compared to the typical SEC DL

of course they'll struggle.. it'll be game two in that system. The adjustments won't be based on the rpo spread, it'll be O clamoring for the old sets. The system plays off of the defensive alignments.. Texas will throw looks to make the reads/transition confusing.
I think it'll be low scoring and I know we are better off with every play LSU runs under the new scheme.

Watching LSU at Texas is gonna be cool

Big regional matchup that's very sexy on paper, what has me excited is the huge difference in experience/identity when LSU has the ball vs Texas on O and the impact coaching adjustments will have throughout the game.
We've all got opinions.. we'll see who fares best.

Did the starting Dline play over 2/3s of the snaps? Because they made over 2/3s of tackles attributed to Dline.
'18 starting Dline - 115 tkls - 12 sks
'18 backups on Dline - 48 tkls - 0.5 sks. Numbers from four '18 backups. Two are projected starters for '19. Third projected starter was a RFr at NT. The sixth guy in two deep for Dline was a first year juco. Does that look right to you?
They will really have to step up their game to be just as productive a unit as what horns had in '18. Especially if your LBs are as bad as you said.
Safeties are high quality and NB looks solid. Big question in secondary are your corners. They look a little green.
That TrFR WR from west coast? He's in or expected to be there when practice starts?
If that TrFR earns a starting spot at CB he will have earned it. Fullton was LSU's best CB last year. Vincet is one of the fasted players in college football. He started some as a TrFR in '17 and started seven games in '18. Joseph is another very talented DB vying for the starting CB spot. So, again if the TrFR does end up starting then he will have earned it.
As for the safeties. As good as the starting corners will be the starting safeties might be better. Delpit just might be the best defensive player in college for upcoming season. Stevens was a holy terror back there the backend of last season once he fully understood his role.
LSU's secondary was the only secondary in SEC to hold opponents under 50% completion.
Aranda has gone up against Heisman winning QBs and made them look avg. I will be very surprised if horns hit 20.
LSU "O". If all else fails, ground and pound.

a1m has circled the last game of the regular season since joining the SEC.... and it's only worked once.

All opening games are different then other games. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit . I do see LSU winning . Most teams make biggest improvements during first and second games! And

....and in 2012 beat Ole Miss 66-31 at Oxford. Neither of which is relevant here.

Just proves Aggys obsession with Texas.

Aggie not losing to Texas means it is a good year.

LSU would be smart to ditch the spread concepts for this matchup. You’ll be playing into Texas’s strengths by trying to sling the ball around against some of the best DBs in the country. Linebacker is a mystery for us, LSU should run power until Texas proves they can stop it consistently. Although Orlando seems to shut down those pro style attacks with ease.
