It's not the worst breakdown I've seen but def reads like somebody looked at some stats, the roster, and recruiting rankings.

LSU will not blitz "early and often". Watch the tape.

I also don't see how they come to the conclusion that they have a big advantage at the skill positions.

We blitz often we just don’t send the house.

Aranda likes to get numbers by moving guys around not by just overloading the line

That was an EXCELLENT breakdown. One of the best by a fan I’ve seen in a long time. They definitely analyzed our offense as though it will be unchanged, but what else would they do? Anyway, a lot of LSU fans are assuming our offense will run like a finely tuned engine. THAT’s delusional.

I think our offense will look very bad because it’s new. Receivers will make bad reads, backs will fail to pick up blitzes, that sort of thing. This, and home field advantage, will come close to neutralizing LSU’s big advantage - experience. LSU has way more returning starters and overall more talent. That will be hard for Texas to overcome. And the fact that LSU can run out about 8 defensive linemen will make it hard for Texas to exploit their one chance on offense - wearing out our defensive line.

I have LSU winning this one in a fairly close game, but not a cliffhanger.
