LSU will win if we rush for 150+ yards

I agree but it’s unlikely that’s happening.

The reality is Nuss will need a Heisman-like effort to get this win

So LSU will lose if we rush for 149 yds?

Not necessarily. BK record at LSU is 29-11 so that means he is 8-8 when we rush for less than 150

They gave up more than 150 in all 4 of their losses last year.

Did they overhaul their roster like we did though? What teams did the prior year is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the NIL era. The game has changed.

No that's actually what people are calling their strength this year. They return everyone but that's the big question. You were a talented unit last year on a defense that wasn't very good. Will those talented guys elevate to that next step or will it be more of the same?

This defense can pin their ears back knowing Garret Nussmeier will be a statue

Pretty lazy take here.

You do realize they make routes called screens, slants, curls and flat routes to combat blitzes even when its difficult to run right?

I think we will be better at running the ball this year but we don't need to run for 150+ yds to win this game or for the run game to be effective. We just need to shoot for 4yds/carry and get to 100-120yds. Just need to keep their defensive line and secondary guessing. That will lead to us having 1-on-1 matchups on the outside which with our speed leads to a very explosive game.

Would running for 150+yd be nice? Sure but if we average 4yds a carry and get to 100-120yds then I can promise you we had a successful game offensively.
