A real-life football playbook isn’t something you can toggle at the loading screen like EA Sports’ NCAA Football game. By the time a playbook has been designed, tested and installed over countless offseason hours, it’s largely set by the time the first game rolls around. Which means when Ed Oregon took control of LSU in Week *****, he couldn’t just toss aside Les Miles’ offensive blueprint and start from scratch.
Yet the turnaround has been dramatic. Orgeron, who turned over offensive control to Steve Ensminger after the firing of Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, has seen his offense score 87 points and amass 1,093 total yards in all of eight quarters of football.
