The pre-game hype surrounding LSU's season opener against BYU focused on Matt Canada's offense.
What would the scheme look like?
How many receivers would be in the formation?
Would the Tigers actually throw the ball to the tight end?

But when the Tigers finally kicked off their 2017 season at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Saturday night, it was all about Dave Aranda's defense.
