How much improvement do you expect in your offense?

This isn't me flaming you all, I just want to get to know your offense a little bit better.
I know you recently hired a new coordinator, so there should be some hiccups in your offense when you move to a new scheme.
Also, I know you are losing your top rusher and a senior wide out (I think some guy(s) on the o-line too).
You guys were decent at running the ball, but really couldn't get anything going through the air. After watching your spring game, it still seems like a common theme with all 3 of your QBs.
Even though Oregon is breaking in a few new defensive players, we may not have to play stellar to slow your offense down.
What do you guys expect from your offense this year? How much better do you think your passing game will be in the 1st game when it looks like Jefferson will be the starter? The worst thing that could happen to LSU in this match up would be having this game turn into an Oregon offensive clinic.

A whole HELL of a lot. I expect LSU to have the #1 rushing offense in the SEC this fall.

A few things...
We have had too many hiccups with the old system with crowton-- possibly asthma
This year should be a much *improved group from last year, we won't set records
Out defense is way too stout to allow an 'Oregon clinic'

First year with Crowton it was incredible... just saying that a new coordinator doesn't necessarily mean we will have trouble.

Our RBs will be better. Trust me that's the last position on offense I'm worried about. RR has better hands than TT did, so he will do just dandy at WR. OL will be much improved imho as well. (we only lost Barksdale if I am remembering correct.)

You won't be putting an offensive clinic on the Best secondary in the nation, and likely top 5 DL in the nation.
I expect our offense to play to our strengths this year, and be much less predictable. If all 92,000 in attendance don't know what's coming, that will be an improvement. Such as RS getting more than just a Jet Sweep.
ETA: and if we play to our strengths, that would mean running it down your throats. Your fast playcalling, if held to 3 and outs, would really really hurt you.

Your logo is making this thread confusing.

Who knows? Good receivers, good RB corps, good line, and then there's the QB....
and the new coach to straigthen things out after dismal numbers in the recent past...

and replacing both of them with guys that are even better. Spencer Ware and Ford beat Ridley any day, and Randle is infinitely times better than Tolliver, also not a diva
Our offense is going to be much better, especially during this game because Les and JJ have their best games when they have more than a week to prepare. But the game will be won by our defense, just like always. Our offense will be just good enough to put more points on the board than yours.

LSU has no chance.
We suck in out of conference games.
our coach is terrible when he has time to prepare.
We are pitiful in big games too.
Our fans are dispassionate and no help to our team.
We are thin throughout the roster.
We play in a weak conference so our great record is deceiving.
If we were in the Pac-10 we'd be dueling Wazoo for last place.
we are slow and lack depth.
Have mercy.

I certainly don't expect the passing game to be as shitty as it was last year. I also expect the defense to be better than it was last season as well.

This is what people outside the SEC tend to forget. Quality defensive depth has been our livelihood for a long time.

We had no offense last year. This year.. we will have an offense. It may not shatter records but we finished with 11 wins with probably the worst offense in the country.

I think Ware will prove to be a better RB than Ridley but not by much (and this is TBD). Ridley was one tough dude to tackle for all 13 games last year. Ware needs to provde himself game-in and game-out (and yes I expect him to). Ford needs to run as strong as he is.
Randle is better than TT but not "infinitely" so. As for our WR's, until one of the young guys steps up, this is an area of concern.

I don't think Ware in 2011 will be better than Ridley in 2010, but I do think the Ware-Ford I-formation will lead to greater success if employed more this fall.
Posted on 6/11/11 at 11:42 pm to CFBfan80
Very little unless JJ has improved a lot in the offseason.
Posted on 6/11/11 at 11:43 pm to deuce985
JJ could start every game, throw less than 100 passes for the whole year, and yet LSU could still have a MONSTER offense.

Ok, are you ready for this?
The reason my name is CFB fan, is because there are a lot of teams that I follow and cheer for. Here are the reasons why:
1. Oregon: I'm a graduate of the University of Oregon
2. Ohio State: My grandfather was a graduate and huge buckeye fan.
3. USC: My dad is a graduate.
4. Bama: Mom is a graduate.
5. Oklahoma: My best friend was a walk on at OU and I used to take trips to Norman to see him play.
6. Texas A&M: My brother is currently enrolled their on a military scholarship in the Corp of Cadets.
Sounds farfetched, but it's all true.

In terms of yards, I agree. That said, I think Ware will be more effective (than Ridley last year) because we'll have more offensive balance.
