In their first year under Brian Kelly, many expected the LSU Tigers to be a bit of a dud as Kelly tried to churn out the dysfunction from the end of the Ed Orgeron era. Instead, Kelly brought in OC Mike Denbrock from Cincinnati and pulled Arizona State grad transfer QB Jayden Daniels, combined the pair with the latent skill position talent in the Bayou, and has created a top-25 offense that is scoring 35 points per game.
Denbrock’s offense is one that’s been honed in north-central football area as he’s spent time with Kelly at ND and then years in Cincinnatti with Luke Fickell, who brought a lot of concepts from Urban Meyer’s Ohio State offense.
