I know he's a former player and long-time assistant… Do you guys have any detailed knowledge of his past stints with other teams and what his offensive philosophy might be?

I'm not sure but it can't be any worse.

Going to be a lot of turnovers, imo.

The last two times aTm beat LSU, in 1994 and 1995, Steve Ensminger was the OC for them.

He knows what he's doing. The problem is that he has very little time to prepare the offense.

My guess is a much more simplified offense with more passing to the outside.

Probably some picks but, that comes with the territory.

The receivers had better step up big time if we are to salvage the season.

He will install a Run-Pass option in the offense. It should force the opponents from loading the box against us.

He coached WRs at West Monroe in the early 2000s.

Change #1 ... allowing the QB to check off at the line of scrimmage.

Yeah...he was the Offensive Coordinator at LA Tech when Jason Davis, running back, set the state record for most carries in a game with 47.

Jason Davis 47 carries

Hopefully he will get Fournette 50 this Saturday.

You will still see an occassional I formation with JDM, but should see more 3 WR sets, and 3 WR with a TE in pass route, more TE targets.

Literally all he has to do is implement intermediate passing routes and we make first downs, open lanes for RBs, give our defense rest. We have good TE's and hungry young WRs. I anticipate more 3 WR sets. I don't think we automatically start throwing 200+ yards, but I do think we'll see sustained offensive drives.

Im not trying to throw shade, but if my memory is correct. I believe Ensminger and his brother many years ago in the 90's were both arrested for lewd behavior, one at the airport and the other at a BREC park.

Could be different Ensminger
