re: Unpopular Opinion? The offense LSU is implementing will be a cause for more INT/Turnovers

Maybe a few more but not necessarily a significant amount more
It also hopefully will yield a lot more TDs.
Ultimately Int aren’t good and you want to limit them but you can’t be scared to throw the ball because of Int.
I compared It to baseball. Power hitting is more important than not striking out of Batting average. Obviously there is a tipping point but you sacrifice a chance at a strikeout to have a better chance at scoring.
That being said some similar offense have yielded very efficient QBs.
Baker Mayfield at Ou has 4 int
Lawrence has 4 at Clemson (more passes than Burrow)
McSorley has 8 and 10 at Penn state. More but not like he has 18. Butnhes an example of a good not amazing QB doing pretty well.

Danny Etling had 16 TD passes to 2 INTs in his last season. He was top 3 in yards/attempt that year as well. Our offense was in the bottom half of the SEC in PPG (9th of 14). I don’t think it takes much imagination to think that we would’ve benefitted from taking more chances and risking more turnovers.
For comparison, Jalen Hurts had 20 fewer pass attempts and a 17/1 TD/INT ratio. So I don’t know, maybe that kind of passing efficiency would’ve been more useful if Etling was also netting 60+ yds/game on the ground.
