From what I've seen of LSU and USC, admittedly only 2-3 games per season, USC is a more pass oriented team, compared to last year's LSU squad. LSU's team blocking was very well executed. Everyone took their assignment and held the blocks well. It allowed a good, but not outstanding, RB like Hester to look unstoppable. It reminded me of old school college football. USC is a slicker, more modern offense; more outside running and more complex in the passing game. I'm far from an expert, but that's my impression.
