Can the LSU Tigers have an EXPLOSIVE offense with Jayden Daniels this season?!?
08/18/23 • 31 min
We are officially at the midway point of fall camp for the LSU Tigers and less than three weeks away from kicking off the 2023 season against the Florida State Seminoles on Labor Day weekend. So how is the LSU offense shaping up leading into the season?
This past week of practices starting quarterback Jayden Daniels has strung together some of his best days in camp. He has been accurate and in control of the offense all while combining a strong arm with one of his greatest and most unique strengths: his legs. Returning stars like WR Malik Nabers and TE Mason Taylor have, to no surprise, continued to prove themselves as integral weapons in the offense while improving and building upon their 2022 campaigns. But it doesn't stop with the biggest playmakers from last season; other role players looking to serve larger roles this season such as Chris Hilton, Brian Thomas, and Kyren Lacy have also been putting in work and getting their fair share of targets from Daniels and backup QB Garrett Nussmeier.
While the passing game has evolved and looks strong, no position group is as strong as the running back room. The Tigers have eight RBs on the roster, half of which have taken valuable snaps at the college level and can contribute right away. Returning Tigers such as Josh Williams, Armoni Goodwin, John Emery and Noah Cain are sharing snaps with Notre Dame transfer Logan Diggs along with true freshmen Trey Holly and Kaleb Jackson. How will offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock balance all eight of those backs and how will they be used? Could the running back position be LSU's X-factor offensively?

LSU FOOTBALL STATE OF THE SECONDARY | Where is Denver Harris? Which young CBs stood out at practice?
LSU football is less than three weeks away from the kickoff of the regular season and has been progressing throughout camp to ensure the team is ready to take on Florida State on Labor Day Weekend. So where does one position group of concern stand at this point throughout preseason preparation?
The secondary, more specifically the cornerbacks, are a big unknown for the Tigers this year. It was a thin group that found some depth through the transfer portal but questions remain how much of a polished, finished product the CBs can be come Week 1 in Orlando. There are also major question marks about one individual member of that room: Denver Harris. Harris, a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, found himself in the transfer portal after two suspensions at Texas A&M left him out of a majority of his true freshman season and there is fear that his behavioral issues may have followed him to Baton Rouge after he missed two practices in a row and was not featured in the team photo. So what is the latest with Harris and should LSU fans be concerned?

What is LSU football's offensive X-factor?!
LSU football will hold a scrimmage in Tiger Stadium on Saturday afternoon where media and fans will get a more in-depth look at what the Tigers look like at this point in fall camp now that the team is just two weeks away from kicking off Brian Kelly's second season against Florida State. But before we see the team on the field on Saturday, who is shaping up to be a huge factor for the purple and gold offensively?
The hype for LSU this preseason is real. Several members of the media have picked LSU to win the SEC West for the second season in a row. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has the second best odds to win the Heisman this season. The Tigers are ranked #5 in the Preseason AP Poll. But what could be the difference between LSU living up to the hype and falling short of expectations? The offense; more specifically, Daniels himself. Has Daniels shown the growth and development throughout fall camp to take the next step as LSU's QB this season? Plus, LSU has eight options in the running back room: six of which have valuable starting experience at the Power 5 level, either at LSU or elsewhere. How will Kelly and offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock utilize the depth they have at that position?
