Overall, this was a very spring-gamey spring game. Some things to like. Some things to be concerned about. Not really an abundance of either. So in the end, much like I said in the first place, a nice blank canvas for most fans to project their issues, anger, optimism, what have you.

Foster Moreau definitely had a not-so-happy voicemail from his momma when she saw him flash the double-birds pre-game.

The design of the offense was, mostly, what I expected to see. Pro-style in terms of formations, but with an emphasis on spreading the field. Some RPOs and tempo mixed in. A couple things stood out in terms of the schematics:

Ensminger moved the tight ends around a lot — in line, flexed on the wing, in the slot and split out wide. It’s a useful tactic to both create physical mismatches, and also force the defense to expose itself a little bit in terms of how it reacts to the formation.

As expected, there’s a big emphasis on wide/tight zone runs with bootlegs off that action, and creating some quick, easy throws on first down

First play of the game was a basic inside zone/stick RPO — Justin McMillan missed the pass to Jonathan Giles — but both the purple and white teams came back to it a few times with all three quarterbacks.

Yes, it’s true that McMillan’s units had the best success early on, but again...spring game.

Speaking of pressure, with K’Lavon Chaisson had a field day with some of the backup tackles in the game. And even with Badara Traore at times. Imagine he’ll move to right tackle when Saahdiq Charles comes back from injury.

As expected, LSU’s front seven looks very impressive — two players that stood out in small doses Saturday included Glenn Logan at nose tackle and Neil Farrell at defensive end. Both did a nice job of stacking and shedding blockers in the hole. Tyler Shelvin also showed impressive burst in a few snaps, but until his conditioning improves those snaps will be few and far between when Ed Alexander returns.
