Joe Burrow didn’t enroll at LSU until the summer, the running game was facing its biggest overhaul of the decade and there was inexperience at receiver and on the offensive line. Combine that with a daunting preseason schedule loaded with top-flight defenses and yeah, nobody was expecting the Tigers to set the world on fire. At least they shouldn’t have.

I’m not saying that LSU is going to have a Top 10 offense in 2019, but I am saying that this group should take a significant step up.

In terms of skill-players, Moreau and 1,000-yard rusher Nick Brossette are really the only significant losses. That’s why LSU ranks No. 12 nationally in percentage of returning offensive production (Tennessee is the only SEC team with more).

I would certainly hope so.

Until I see it become reality on the field, I will assume our offense is going to suck.

For 12th or 13th time in the last 15 seasons, I hope I’m wrong.

I think everyone expects the offense to be significantly better in 2019. If it isn't then it's not a stretch to say we have the wrong people in place to be running it.

There's too much talent and experience for it to suck, and I believe it will be significantly better.

You really are putting a ton of pressure on true freshman rbs.

Tigers had issues at the tackle spots all year, and keeping Burrow protected on the outside was a definite weakness. Teams who had dominant edge-rushers like Alabama, Florida and Mississippi State all gave LSU serious problems up front



Get this fixed and the offense improves tremendously.

RB is by far the easiest offensive position to adjust from HS to college. Emery is a special talent.

Its a problem if our OC cant scheme around 2 players if neither of them are qb. There are dozens of olines with worse talent at the tackle position that have competent offenses.

I always say that we'll know exactly what we have offensively with this coaching staff by next season.

They better be. Theres no reason other than coaching that should prevent this. They are better across the board on offense.

"Uninitiated" attack.




Yes its being a hypocrite.
You said talent was our issue this year when dozens of people said we have more than enough talent
We add 2 rbs and now youre saying we are too talented.

Changing your stance to fit the situation is hypocritical.
