Good point and agreed, rhythm for the O and Boeckman in particular will be key to a fast start.
The off tackle run to Beanie or a high percentage play action pass (beanie as the fake), are both solid but predictable plays from the good guys. Comments about going to the TE off the play action makes sense since this has been a weak area for LSU.
With that said, perhaps they go a new formation and a high percentage pass. Perhaps spread LSU out with 4 wides and throw a quick pass out of a 3 step drop. Maybe something quick to Small.
