1. Joe Burrow must be on his game

Passing game coordinator Joe Brady came over to help open the pass game. His goal was to take advantage of the wonderful skill position players the Tigers have and get them in space. Brady and LSU offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger want to create matchup nightmares to get all of the speed the Tigers have at the skill positions.

Junior Transfer quarterback Joe Burrow has been fantastic since been in the Bayou. He’s steadied that offense, and this season he’ll have the benefit of a full complement of skill position players to get the ball to.

Justin Jefferson has come into his own as a legitimate No. 1 receiver, Derrick Dillon is a reliable chain mover with speed, Terrace Marshall is a big body with good hands and Ja’Marr Chase might be the next great LSU receiver. This might be the deepest receiver room in the SEC this side of Tuscaloosa.
