And, to be fair, there are a number of major factors.

Not in any particular order:

The Spread/RPO offense brilliantly installed by Brady/Ensminger
The Summer of 10,000 Jugs reps
The work ethic of the receivers & Burrow
The work of the O-Line
CEH's (& RBs) balls-to-the-wall commitment to the new system
et cetera

Yeah, but they don't run it with the precision that LSU does and I give Brady a lot of credit for that. Let's face it, the transformation isn't a coincidence with the arrival of Joe Brady.
All of what you listed has been factors in this incredible transformation. Question, do you actually think LSU'S offense would have been this prolific without the scheme change? I think not.

It's also offensive scheme designed to put them in a position to make easy plays.


This cannot be overstated. No more 2-man routes.

If a WR runs a route and gets open, he better be ready to see a ball coming his way. The days of knowing you will never see a pass come your way are gone. It keeps everyone involved.

No. Of course not.

However, do YOU actually believe this scheme would have succeeded with the 58% catch rate that LSU receivers had in 2018 versus the 76% catch rate in 2019?

Without either this team wouldn't have done what it's done. Brady, his system and the drills and attention to detail has been the most important. The improved catching is a byproduct of the scheme (having more space to catch uncontested balls) and the work put in between Burrow and receivers and jug work. You didn't see Burrow throw with such conviction last year like he does this year and that's because of the scheme that was implemented and how comfortable Burrow is in that system (he's throwing darts).

Right

Which is essentially the same scheme Burrow grew up playing. Burrow has said this numerous times.

quote:

Burrow grew up on this offense, learning it and running it through his formative years on his way to being one of the top quarterbacks in the country. This offense is tailor-made for him.

This is from a 10 second google search. Burrow has said this countless times. Many of us watched Burrow run it in Ohio's HS playoffs for 3 years.

I seem to be saying this a lot watching other teams run a passing offense...

"If this was an LSU receiver, that ball would have been caught"

My point of that statement is that he's throwing a lot more accurate balls because of his familiarity of the system (hence, throwing darts) because of the scheme and the scheme allowing receivers to be in voids in the defense for more uncontested catches. I think we'd all agree that it's easier to catch an uncontested ball.
Believe me, I'm not discounting the increase in catch %, I just think it's more because of the system Brady implemented with a close second to the work Burrow and the receivers put in along with jugs work.

Nevertheless, we are all fortunate to be witnessing this and hopefully we see them do it one more time and cap off an unbelievable season.

And the fact that Burrow ran that system for a decade growing up.

And Brady/Ensminger/Burrow/Team did a fantastic job of making that system work like a Swiss watch at LSU.

A thing of beauty! Awesome to behold!
