Joe Burrow and Myles Brennan are loving the LSU offense this spring

“It’s going to be a big part of our offense,” Burrow said of the push towards a more RPO-based attack that feeds on tempo. “The direction new age football is going, that has to be a part of everyone’s offense if you want to be explosive.

When the first-team group hit the field, Burrow was in the shotgun at quarterback and Clyde Edwards-Helaire was at running back. And for the fans that had clamored to put the top pass-catchers onto the field at one time and flex out an athletic tight end, the Tigers were doing just that. On the left side of the line, Justin Jefferson and Terrace Marshall were lined up. On the far right side was Ja'Marr Chase, and flexed out at tight end was Stephen Sullivan, a 6-foot-6 mismatch wide receiver who the Tigers are using at multiple spots this spring.

When the staff ran out the next group, Brennan took over at quarterback with Chris Curry at running back. Dee Anderson, Jontre Kirklin and Jonathan Giles were the three wide receivers, and Thaddeus Moss was flexed out as the tight end on the field.

It's a group loaded with familiar faces, with every wide receiver from last year's team now back on roster for the 2019 season, something Burrow said he's not sure he's ever had happen in his time as a quarterback on any level.

But that was then. And this is now, which is why the offensive players are gushing over what they view as a big step in the right direction on offense with all the changes being installed this offseason.

“(The 2018 offensive production) is not going to be good enough next year," Burrow said.
