The Brian Kelly era started off with a weird, frustrating dud. LSU didn’t play a particularly good game of football and none of us had fun until the last 2 minutes so, let’s examine why.
Offense
The biggest problem LSU had all night was their almost complete inability to block anybody. The offensive line was ineffective, losing 1 on 1s reliably and keeping the entire offense off schedule. This opened a lot of things up for Florida State defensively that helped them keep LSU inefficient. LSU actually dialed up plenty of 3-route RPO structures that I quite liked, but Florida State consistently forced give reads for the QB and made them keep the ball on the ground.
