Everyone likes to act like they knew LSU was a small tweak from being a record setting offense. Fact of the matter is NO ONE saw it coming. LSU was as horrible as us for as long as us offensively. Their transformation was entirely the result of the Brady hire and his ability to put that talent in position to explode.Would you have thought that prior to the season last year? Statistically, LSU's 2018 offense looked a lot like Miami's 2019 offense maybe with better run blocking linemen.
Joe Burrow- 57% completions 16/5 TD/INT, 133.2 Rating
Nick Brossette- 1039 yards 4.3ypc
Clyde Edwards-Helaire- 658 yards 4.5 ypc
Justin Jefferson- 58 rec 875 yards
No other receiver caught more than 23 passes.
These are really pedestrian numbers outside of Jefferson who had a nice but not spectacular season. I would not have looked at these results and said this was a super talented offensive team. If a scheme change can turn this pile of mediocrity into a record setting offense, I feel Miami can significantly benefit from a change too.
We might not have the same amount of talent that LSU had last year, but we also don’t play anywhere near the schedule LSU played last year. If Lashlee is who we think he is, then our offense should at least see an improvement similar to what our defense experienced after Manure replaced Doritos.
