Realistic offensive and defensive production for 2020

---

Offense - 35.0
Defense - 3.50

OP should have seen this coming.

random guess:
offense - 35-38
defense - 18 ish (LSU plays some serious offenses)

If we score under 40ppg it will be an absolute atrocity and we will end up losing 3 games. We have way too much talent offensively. On defense 18ppg will be a disappointment. We have a superstar defensive roster with zero weak spots in the 3 deep and one of the best 4-3 defensive minds in the game. Not to mention our rockstar group of assistants. Look at the defensive production in the last four games last year when our defense was finally healthy and figured out Aransas over complicated scheme. This roster is more talented on defense than last year and probably the most talented since 2011/2012.

Realistically I think we average between 35-40. To much weapons to not score. Brennan doesn’t have to be great, he as to be good ENOUGH to let the playmakers do their thing.

Defense 15-18 I think. We should be better and we will be more aggressive With play calling I think that leads more sacks Turnovers interceptions

My concern is how quickly the new OL develop and function as a unit. I think Brennan will be fine if he isn't under constant pressure and the RBs will do well if run blocking is at a minimum average.

Yall realize we only threw 17 TDs with Burrow and this same group in 2018 right?

Unlike you, I'm not so worried about the offensive line because although we have to replace four offensive linemen, we are still very experienced on the offensive line.

For instance, projected left guard Ed Ingram is a former starter on the 2017 team and when he started he was widely held up to be our best offensive linemen that season.

Furthermore, projected center Chasen Hines either started or played in 10 games at left guard in his true freshman season in 2018 before tearing his ACL and when he played I thought he was one of the better offensive lineman we had on the team that season.

Meanwhile, projected starter at left tackle Dare Rosenthal also had several starts last season, while also seeing some time in spot duty. According to the coaching staff, Rosenthal is an elite left tackle who will probably be a first-round draft pick when he leave LSU.

Moreover, the projected right guard, Anthony Bradford, is the only true virgin of the bunch but he is a 6 foot 5 inch 365 - pound behemoth that Ed O predicts will be the best offensive linemen on the team in 2020.

Then lastly but certainly not least is Austin Deculus who will be starting at his right tackle position for the third straight season in a row.

Hence, considering the size, the bulk, and the surprising level of experience, I think the offensive line in 2020 will be at least as good as the 2019 offensive line, if not even better.

Defense will be better IMO. So a hit in Offensive production should be fine. Let start bumping 2019 LSU Defense posts

Aranda shite the bed 3/4 of the year. We all saw it, we all bitched about it.

39 PPG Offense
15.5 YPG Defense

Offense - We averaged 48.4 points last season. Our previous high since 2010 was 35.8 in 2013. Throwing out last season as an outlier we averaged around 31 points per season. Defense - 2011 was the low with 11.3 points yielded. Last season was 21.9. With that 2011 outlier removed we average around 19 points per game.

My prediction is offense - 36.5; defense - 18.0.

Are you nukkin futz —
The dee 18 ppg will be within three

As for offense, you are absolutely clueless regarding the Sean Payton Saints Hybrid LSU Passing Attack.


6 TDs per game is New LSU Standard — This is from the coaches!

Add 2 FGs per game average and you get 48

Myles Brennan will throw 40 passes a game!
LSU will run 80 plays per game in up tempo.

Go look at the passing % last year:

Average for whole year

Last three games

The Clemson game alone.

Anticipate more three and outs with the Dee

More offensive plays — More passes — Saints Template is 60:40 Passing

That’s NEW LSU STANDARD
