ESPN - LSU 2019 spring preview: Can Tigers build on success?

After notching their first 10-win season since 2013, the LSU Tigers head into 2019 with plenty of optimism. Ed Orgeron just signed a top-10 recruiting class, starting quarterback Joe Burrow is back and things are generally looking up in Death Valley.

Strength heading into spring: Dare we say it's the continuity on offense? The Tigers bring back four starting offensive linemen, all their top receivers, their quarterback and their offensive coordinator (Steve Ensminger). That should bode well for a unit that has seen regular turnover in the past decade (rare has been the year that LSU has brought back both the starting quarterback and the offensive coordinator from the same season).

Spring storyline to watch: The Tigers' offense took some steps forward in 2018 behind grad transfer quarterback Burrow and offensive coordinator Ensminger and now LSU adds a new face to the mix: passing game coordinator Joe Brady, who came to the team from the New Orleans Saints. Orgeron said he was impressed by Brady's knowledge and mastery of the run-pass option game, which is something Orgeron said he wants to increase the presence of in LSU's offense. How Brady's addition and more run-pass option concepts find their way into the Tigers' offense this spring will be interesting. "We are retooling the offense," Orgeron said. "It's exactly what I wanted from the get-go. I think Joe and Steve Ensminger will work well together."
