Power Hour LSU, the superb LSU YouTube show hosted by Carter Bryant, generously invited us on to discuss the various aspects of USC-LSU in Week 1. Offense, defense, coaching, key matchups, major storylines — we covered the main angles attached to this huge season opener in Las Vegas.
There is a general point of agreement among USC and LSU football analysts, magnified by this conversation at Power Hour LSU, that line play is where the game will be decided. LSU has an elite offensive line which, it hopes, will make it very easy for the Tigers to pick apart USC’s defense. USC’s offensive line needs to show it is for real. If it does play well, USC’s passing game should be able to function at a high level. Miller Moss should be able to carve up a question-mark-filled LSU secondary which was not good last season and is already facing some roster limitations this summer, heading into Week 1.
