Where is the relative weakness on this LSU offense?

First of all, when you are talking about teams like Georgia, Alabama and LSU, “weak” is a relative term. All these teams have NFL bound players at multiple positions.

QB - Well it doesn’t look like qb is a weak spot, Daniels is a game breaker and first team preseason all SEC on several publications. With Nussmeier at backup, this has to be one of the better qb rooms in the country.

O Line - Kelly keeps talking about how experienced and deep his o-line is. Campbell is a consensus all sec first team pick who will protect Daniels on the blind side. He and Emery Jones have to be one of the better two tackles in the league. Heard would start right now for lots of teams. The interior o-line have all started at one time or another.

WR - Malik Nabers is another all sec preseason team player getting a lot of hype. How deep is this group? Some depth charts have Aaron Anderson on the third team. Wow. Thomas, Hilton and Lacy are all players. It’s a deep wr room. Anderson didn’t transfer to ride the bench, but Lacy is one of those do everything right guys who somehow is still listed as a starter.

TE - Mason Taylor as a freshman was a more complete tight end than LSU has had in a while. When they want to run the ball with two tight ends, Connor Galbreath looks more like an offensive tackle. His highlight reel of blocking people is a hoot, he’s a mauler. He’s got a bit of a Kyle Turley attitude. LSU picked up three really good freshman tight ends for depth. Pimpton and Markway both had big time offer sheets.

RB - I suppose if you have to pick a relative weakness, it’s at running back. There is no one guy that jumps out at you as a Sunday player. But it’s a lot deeper group than last year. But who could have predicted Clyde Hellaire would be a first round pick. My favorite is Josh Williams, reminds me of Jacob Hester as that guy that can get you that yard on 4th and 1.

Maybe I’m just falling for the hype, but this sure looks like an offense that can beat you in a lot of ways, starting with Daniels. I guess the running game is the question mark. The depth and experience is there with Diggs, Cain and Emery on the team. Then you have Goodwin, Holly and Jackson.

It’s kind of hard to call that rb room the offense soft spot. But if not there, then where? I guess maybe tight end if Taylor goes down.

Kelly has done a great job in a short time building a solid roster. At least on paper anyway.

We will know in a few weeks. I know I’m taking LSU and giving Florida State the 2 and 1/2 points. I always bet LSU anyway, but this year it feels like a good bet.
