LSU Has a Great Chance to Run the Table -- Here's Why

The primary pushback everyone will give is "but the Offense" -- and for good reason -- and you'd be right, but not for the reason you'd think --

In UF's last 7 games -- their defense has allowed an average of 12.8 pts -- 2 of those games were against LSU, 1 against Ole Miss --

The reality is simple -- defenses are adapting to the RPO with smaller LBs and defensive lines -- similar to LSU's 2011 team that adapted their defense to beat Oregon's spread offense -- LSU's 2025 defense is not only comparable -- but they are in a far better environment as every team is now fully immersed in the chicken-shite offense of RPO -- turn on any game in college football and you will see EXACTLY the same shite formations on offense --

The truth is this: if you don't have Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels -- the RPO is not an optimal scheme against modern defenses -- check Texas struggling on Offense against UTEP -- but but, TN's offense!!? It's an RPO -- but but Georgia's Offense -- it's an RPO -- and neither TN nor Georgia have fully adapted their defense to stop it like LSU or UF --

"L(f)agway struggled, he melted down" -- yes he did, because LSU's elite personnel and defense, designed to stop a ridiculously complicated offense, that foolishly puts 100% of its success on the back of the QB, did what it was supposed to do: they harassed the shite out of him, never gave him breathing room to run out the pocket, baited him into bad throws --

LSU won 2 national titles with field managers at QB because the offense was designed to distribute the offense to the RBs, TEs (when used properly) and set up the defenses with play-action -- Nuss is a better QB than many of you give him credit for -- note Durham's 50 yard run last night -- watch how the offense picked up every defender with blocks because they ran the play under center, had 2 blockers leading in front of Durham -- beautful play -- Nuss under center with a 7 step drop and stepping up in the pocket would be unbelievably good --

I expect LSU to continue to shut down RPOs the entire year -- I expect Nuss to continue to do the best he can in an offense that's designed for Tim Tebow and Cam Newton -- I expect the rest of the country to struggle on offense when pitted against a defense that knows how to stop it -- LSU wins --
