After Ja'Marr Chase Opts Out, LSU's Offense Is Starting Over in 2020

A clean slate can often be a good thing. It's a valuable opportunity to start fresh and build a better future, perhaps moving beyond some frustrations of the past.

LSU didn't want a dramatically new outlook in 2020. But with star receiver Ja'Marr Chase opting out of the season, according to CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd, the offense is edging from an overhaul into a near-complete revamp.

The program achieved the pinnacle of college football last season, celebrating a national championship with a win over Clemson. Joe Burrow guided the Tigers to a 15-0 record and hoisted the Heisman Trophy, and Chase won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best wide receiver.
