re: Year 2 LSU Spread & Shred — New Bar = 500 ypg Passing

Bump —

LSU runs a Spread and Shred — That’s exactly what we do

Seventy something down arrows are an indictment of the football ignorance of our fan base — Keep up the good work

With the former #1 and #6 HS RBs and 4 new starters on the OL and a 1st time QB starter we will be more balanced. I do expect a lot of use of the RBs in the passing game though. Emery getting his vision fixed will be huge. He should be our best RB out in space with TDP and Curry as our downhill RBs. Now what I'm most excited to see is how the Brennan to Gilbert connection develops. If these two can get their timing down and the OL solidifies this offense will be high octane.

The SAS (Spread and Shred) that LSU runs embodies Saints stats — Did you ever note Payton’s offensive stats — We’re running a hybrid attack that embodies the PASS FIRST CONCEPT

10 Spread and Shred (SAS) Facts:

1. LSU was a 34% Pass Team — Target 60%
2. original goal was to get to 60% by Yr 2
3. LSU threw 60% passes in the two playoffs and utterly obliterated the opposition — Myles Brennan will continue this pass first legacy
4. SAS = a strong pass game to RBs
Note: I agree about John Emery and we have a full stable of RBs to wear down teams
5. SAS = significant TE passes (18%)
Note: TE passes could be increased to 25% given the personnel and skill sets LSU has

Expect 80 plays a game — We went from: 34% pass to 54% (60% last two games)
65 plays a game to 75 (80+ = Target)
29 passes a game (2018) to near 40

Imagine near 50 passes a game ~ 30 runs

10 passes to TEs
10 passes to RBs
30 passes to WRs

30 runs (set up to be explosive plays)

SAS = UNSTOPPABLE

Agree with you and good post, take it a little farther and since your into it give us the break down from 1st half and 2nd half. Also ranked opponents vs non ranked so we can see the game plan against the better teams. This would be interesting.

Some of the games were out of reach and how did we mix it up when we had the game in the bag vs weaker teams.

With a game in the bag, LSU always lets off the gas* — Orgeron doesn’t run up scores!

That’s when we:
•Run a lot more
•Run that 40 second play clock down
•Dilute the passing first game plan

*MSU and Alabama games a classic example

726 points scoring / 15 = 48.4 ppg
21 — 21 — 10 — 03 — GA So
03 — 17 — 03 — 22 — TEX
03 — 21 — 27 — 14 — VAN
28 — 10 — 21 — 07 — NW LA
07 — 14 — 14 — 07 — UT ST

14 — 03 — 17 — 03 — GA
21 — 28 — 07 — 07 — OK
07 — 21 — 07 — 07 — CLEM

Average scoring is 182 points or 12.1/Qtr
166-249-184-127=726
Summary Scoring:

LSU scored 166 points in First Qtr (Av 11)

LSU annihilated opponents with 249 second quarter points, taking control of every game by the half (Av 17)

So LSU averaged 28 ppg by halftime

Third Quarter scoring 184 was near 182 av
(12.2 ppg)

Fourth Qtr scoring was obviously reduced to cruise control only 127 total points (8.5 ppg)

Second half scoring was only 21 ppg

LSU EASILY COULD HAVE SCORED OVER 100 TDS (NOT 95)

LSU could have scored 56+ points a game not 48.4
