re: Kirby Smart on LSU's Offense

His statement that "the offense we're facing is not any different from other offenses we've faced, it's just really good" is kind of telling.

LSU is not necessarily building a new mousetrap in terms of offensive football (though they are from LSU's prior offenses), it's just that they have great players executing it. Opponents can have an idea of how to stop it, but if Burrow knows the exact matchup he wants to exploit and throws a perfect pass there's nothing a defense can do. You LB can fit a gap perfectly vs. CEH. But if he makes that quick jump cut outside there's nothing the LB can do. You can flush Burrow out of the pocket...but he never panics and keeps his eyes down field. You can blanket Chase...but he'll just outfight you for the ball

It's been the perfect marriage of a QB who can make every great decision (even though he might not be good in another offense). A RB that simply does everything well. WR's that can win one-on-one. And an OL that can give their QB just enough time to execute it all.
