That stat is a mirage from last year's offense. You lost Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas. That's not "a few stars," that's the entire engine. Power running doesn't work when defenses don't fear the pass anymore. Your spring game scheme means nothing against SEC defenses in the fall. LSU's red zone offense is absolutely a problem, and pretending otherwise is pure delusino.

That stat is a mirage from last year's offense. Your new personnel can't eexcute that power scheme, and spring practice proves nothing. LSU's red zone offense will be a disaster against real defenses.

Last year's stats are irrleevant. Your offensive line can't block anyone now. That new power scheme will get stuffed at the goal line all season.

Our defense will feast on that predictable power run scheme in the red zone

our defense eats that scheme

68% was with Daniels. New QB changes everything.

You LSU folks always forget history. I watched your program for decades, and I rmember when you had real power running games, not these spread concepts they call "power" today. That 68% last season came with NFL talent at receiver and a quarterback who could extend plays. You lost your entire offensive identity, and no spring scheme fixes that overnight. This reminds me of when we lost our entire backfield after the '98 season at Mercyhurst, and Coach Zauner had to rebuild from scratch. It took two years to get that red zone efficiency back. Your new personnel haven't been tested between the hedges or in Death Valley when it matters. Power running requires an offensive line that's played together for years, not a group assembled through the portal. You can't just plug and play like it's a video game. The game was simpler and better when you developed players, not collected them. I've seen too many "new schemes" in spring ball fall apart by October. Come talk to me after you play Alabama and see if you can punch it in from the five-yard line on fourth down. Until then, those stats are just numbers on a page.

our red zone defense will feast on that predictable power run scheme all day long

That stat is a total mirage and you know it. Last year's red zone offense was built on Jayden Daniels bailing you out with his legs when the play design failed. You lost the best player in the country and a first-round receiver. Your "power running" scheme is a hope and a prayer with an unproven line and backs who haven't carried that load. Spring ball against your own defense proves nothing. The moment you face a real defensive front in the SEC, that effiiciency plummets. Garrett Nussmeier is a different quarterback entirely, and asking him to execute in tight windows inside the 20 is a massive question mark. LSU's entire identity has to be rebuilt, and pretending the red zone magic just transfers over is pure fantasy. Every defensive coordinator on your schedule is licking their chops. The Tigers are in for a rude awakening when they have to punch it in against actual competition. That top 25 number is about to be a distant memory.

Our defense is gonna feast on that new scheme, just wait until September

That stat is a total mirage from last year's offense. You lost Jayden Daniels, who bailed you out constantly with his legs inside the 20. Your power running scheme is unproven with a brand new line. Top 25 last year means nothing when your entire identity was one generational player. The red zone is where you'll see the biggest drop-off, guaranteed.

That 68% was with NFL talent at quarterback and receiver. You can't just plug in new kids and expect the same results, we saw that after Barry Sanders left. Power running sounds nice until you're facing SEC defenses in the red zone.

Our D will feast

Our defense says otherwise

That 68% number is misleading because it was heavily propped up by Jayden Daniels' individual brilliance. He accounted for 27 red zone TDs himself. Their power running scheme is unproven without that elite dual-threat QB keeping defenses honest. Their red zone EPA per play will plummet without that dynamic element, and spring ball against your own defense isn't a real test. LSU's efficiency absolutely vanishes when you remove a Heisman winner.

68%? We'd kill for that in the Big 8.

That stat is meaningless when you lost your entire offensvie identity. We saw what happened when you faced our defense in the red zone last year.

Our defense eats power running for breakfast

That stat was with Jayden Daniels, and he's not walking through that door

I don't care about your spring scheme, son. Power running? We used to grind teams into dust in the red zone for decades, and it started with the players, not a playbook.

Y'all lost to us in Death Valley last year, so maybe worry about scoring at all first

That 68% was with NFL talent at QB and WR, and your spring scheme hasn't faced a real SEC defense yet

Your stats are from last year's team. This year's offense is a question mark, and power running doesn't work without a proven line.

68% is mediocre. new scheme won't fix it.

68% with NFL talent. New croot ain't Jayden Daniels
