LSU's passing on 1st and 2nd down-

1st Half:
1st and 10 at LSU 12
(2:14 - 1st) Brandon Harris pass complete to Dillon Gordon for 8 yds to the LSU 20
2nd and 6 at LSU 34
(0:45 - 1st) Brandon Harris pass complete to Travin Dural for 14 yds to the LSU 48 for a 1ST down
1st and 10 at FLA 33
(14:56 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Travin Dural
1st and 10 at LSU 33
(10:03 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Travin Dural for 3 yds to the LSU 36
1st and 10 at LSU 42
(2:55 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Malachi Dupre for 52 yds to the Fla 6 for a 1ST down (Flea Flicker)
2nd and 13 at LSU 46
(0:27 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Malachi Dupre for 4 yds to the 50 yard line

2nd half:
2nd and 7 at LSU 28
(7:13 - 3rd) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Travin Dural
2nd and 8 at FLA 11
(11:27 - 4th) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Malachi Dupre

So LSU completed 5 of its 6 first or second down passes in the first half, and only 3 of those were "good" (the others left unfavorable down/distance).
Of those three one, went to the blocking TE and the other was a flea-flicker. So really, LSU only had one significant non-trick pass to a WR in the first half on first or second down.

In the second half, both were incomplete and in both cases the drives stalled (though one was followed by the fake punt on 4th down so still resulted in a scoring drive).

As best as I can tell, the only difference between conservative offense and an aggressive offense is that an "aggressive" LSU drives result in TDs and "conservative" LSU drives end in punts.
