Not even one week ago, Orgeron said, “If you’re thinking about what we’re going to do at LSU, we’re going to be a spread offense mainly from three wide receiver sets, four wide receiver sets, sometimes five.”
What’s your source for LSU running an “RPO system?”
Just listened to his media day interview, that's almost verbatim what he said. At no point did he mention RPO.
From my understanding spread option is a primarily run-dominant offense and O says he wants to be more 50/50. Would seem counterintuitive to force a 50/50 split from a spread option as you're ideally going with what the defense gives you.

We aren’t running a “spread option”.
“You look at my first game that Coach O asked me to play. We had more RPOs in there. We had a regular personnel and all of a sudden they had a corner covering a fullback and a linebacker covering our receivers. You can’t do it all. But you can run out of three wides and still throw the ball deep. Every personnel we get in, I plan on being able to throw the RPOs and throw intermediate pass routes. You have to be able to do it all out of that personnel. Defenses are too good nowadays. It doesn’t matter what personnel we’re in. We’re going to throw the football, we’re going to run the quick game and throw it over their head.“
