The WSJ had a great article on how Orgeron changed the LSU system away from smash mouth football to a passing attack. I can't post it, so here are the highlights.
1. Coach O: "You can't just score 21 points and hope your defense holds the other team to 17."
2. Under Les Miles, LSU passed the ball 37% of the time. This year that number is 54%.
3. It takes an accurate QB. Burrow has completed 79% of his passes.
4. He hired Saints passing coordinator, Joe Brady, to emphasize the passing game.
5. Orgeron was dumbfounded by its rapid evolution. Burrow completed 80% of his passes in the spring game against what is arguably one of the best defenses in the country.
