00:00Miller-Mawson, Garrett Nussmeier have a tough task at hand.

00:07And they do it with a lot of talent departing around them.

00:11There is no Malik Neighbors, Brian Thomas.

00:14You have Dorian Singer plays for Utah now, you know, Marshawn Lloyds, a Green Bay Packer.

00:20So USC doesn't have the same skill positions, they're usually, look, and there are guys

00:24to be excited about.

00:25We're going to go through these guys.

00:27Zachariah Branch and C.J. Daniels, but when we talk about unproven, man, it's everywhere

00:34on the offensive side of the football, except for that LSU offensive line, which is star-studded.

00:40Absolutely, and I think maybe if you do want to give the edge to an offense, just in regards

00:46to play calling, maybe it is Lincoln-Riley and USC because they didn't change anything

00:50up from the scheme perspective.

00:52Even though LSU and Nussmeier played in the bowl game against Wisconsin, their offensive

00:57coordinator is now with Riley Leonard in Notre Dame.

01:01How does that affect in terms of a week one matchup?

01:04And we talk about it, and we talked about it yesterday in regards to Georgia and Clemson.

01:09You know, in week one matchups where you have elite competition, and say what you will,

01:13USC is a top 25 opponent for the most part, especially from an offensive perspective.

01:18You have to break tendency.

01:20You just can't go into what you showed last year with different talent.

01:23You have to be going in with an offense and a defensive scheme that can confuse the opponent

01:28and make that defense and offensive coordinator think, and that's where you catch them, and

01:33that's where you catch the chunk plays.

01:35So again, I'm intrigued to see how this plays out.

01:37I do feel we'll get points.

01:39I don't know if we get through 65, and I'm not willing to pull the trigger right here

01:44right now, but if we do see maybe eight minutes of scoreless action, 50, 51, 52, that's an

01:51area where I might jump in.
