LSU didn’t have to spend much of preseason camp settling its starting offense, even though it’s replacing a quarterback, a play-caller, and its two leading rushers and receivers.
The unit looks roughly the same as it did in the spring. So instead, the Tigers focused on implementing their new-look running game, syncing quarterback Garrett Nussmeier with his wideouts and helping Joe Sloan, the new play-caller, find an offensive identity.
It’s unfair to expect this offense to match the output of its predecessor, the 2023 unit that produced a Heisman Trophy winner and three first-round NFL draft picks. But if LSU wants to make the College Football Playoff, its offense likely will have to finish near the top of the Southeastern Conference.
