1)Aranda's familiarity with Wisky players and offense or

2)Wisky staff and offensive players being very familiar with Aranda's system?

Such an interesting dynamic to this matchup and the fact it was scheduled years before Aranda ever thought of coming to LSU makes matchup even more unique.

I would think the advantage would go towards Aranda because he has better players to execute with.

The advantage goes to whomever uses the leverage best. The leverage is equal.

I'd say Aranda because he's smarter than everyone else.

There's really no advantage on either side.

I would think the advantages you posted would be even, and talent will decide the game.

There is no advantage for either team. Had Aranda remained at Wisconsin and Steele at LSU both coaching staffs would have seen enough game film of the other team to know them inside and out and would have been preparing for those tendencies.

Aranda being at LSU means litlle in way of an advantage.

(1) How much familiarity does Dave Aranda have with Paul Chryst's offense? One season. The previous two, Aranda spent with Gary Andersen and his transition in recruiting philosophy.

(2) How much familiarity does Paul Chryst have with Dave Aranda's 3-4 defense? One season. The previous three, while at Pittsburgh, Chryst ran a 4-3.

The advantage simply comes from the team that has more talent, which is undoubtedly LSU. That being said, Wisconsin is not short-on-talent, either. As I've stated multiple times, there are only four other programs with more Top-75 picks since 2011 than Wisconsin. The program does an outstanding job developing its players over the course of four- to five-years.

Our advantage benefits our defense while theirs benefits their offense.

I'll take defense over offense especially early in the season.

Clear advantage LSU

Aranda has stated he changes his system to fit the players. I am not sure he'll throw out the same exact stuff he had at Wisconsin with less physically gifted guys and less depth. I bet there are some new looks he's never implemented before as he's never had this much talent/speed/size/depth.

However their offensive scheme will be much of the same I'm sure. Its not like its complicated though. Wisconsin frickin' runs the ball and then runs the ball some more and throws to the TEs.

They are similar to LSU in that their offense is no mystery. They dare you to lineup and stop them from running it down your throat.

OCs don't spend time analyzing their own team's defense. Same for DCs.

They worry about their own players and their opponents. Aranda never had to game plan for playing Wisconsin's offense.

So I think it's no material advantage to either team that Aranda came from Wisconsin.
