BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU fans probably couldn’t believe their eyes when the Tigers' offense took the field for the first time against Missouri. Who were these guys lined up with four wide receivers on the field, and why were they wearing LSU’s traditional purple and gold?
We quickly learned they were the first examples of much-discussed changes brought about by new offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and interim coach Ed Orgeron after taking over for Cam Cameron and Les Miles six days earlier.
"We spread it out more early," said Malachi Dupre, one of those four receivers on the field for the first possession.
