How many times did LSU run out of the I formation vs SELU?

It will help to play against a defense that is giving up 190 rush yds/game

KJ is still KJ, but size alone might be good for a few yards between tackles.

I honestly feel that he is an old school style back who would be better off following a lead blocker & making one cut then up field based off the block of the lead blocker.

If Pyburn is our FB, the Reliford injury could put a damper on how much we can run it. Payton and Butler*** have been really good at DE along with Pyburn, but a lot of that is because there’s so little drop off between the 4 that we can rotate a ton. Carpenter may be a nice player, but he’s no Reliford, and if we take the option of playing FB on offense off the table, I’d imagine Baker would mainly rotate 3 instead of 4, with Pyburn getting the highest % of snaps amongst those 3.


***This post is mainly about how good our DEs are/were with the emergence of Butler. He got almost zero buzz in camp and seemed to be pretty much forgotten. He’s been absolutely huge for us so far. And with the Reliford injury, Butler is going to be even more important. Nice pickup.

We should put Kaleb Jackson at FB doesn’t make sense not too. He’s great at running into people…..plus he can’t knock the shite out of them

We’re not going under center except for the occasional short yardage and who knows if we’ll use the P-I which has worked well or the single back from last week which looked below average. What we could do is add a blocking back/HBack to our normal formations like we did in 2021. That season we started off averaging 71.6 ypg rushing against weak opponents then added Jack Mashburn to the mix and finished averaging 142.1 ypg rushing over the final 8 games vs mostly SEC opponents. Just find a head smasher and add it to what we already do.
