The scheme and the passing game coordinator are nice, but I think too much is getting made of that and not enough attention is paid to the kids running it. We're definitely not the only team to run a pro-style spread. Joe Brady learned much of what we're running from Moorhead. I'm not sure how the narrative became Brady was bringing the Saints' offense to LSU. I mean, yeah, he spent a year or two with the Saints, but let's be real, LSU is not running the Saints offense, other than borrowing a few formations I recognize and a couple plays here and there that aren't all that particular.
LSU looks good so far because Burrow is a really good QB and the WRs are catching everything, unlike last year. I'm not dogging the scheme at all, but if we try to run the same thing next year with Myles Brennan in the shotgun, the new narrative will be "SEC defenses have figured out LSU."
