Why 20 minutes and Out?
That’s all the LSU preseason practice the media gets to see daily. So here’s what was seen in our tiny window on the first of 25 preseason practice days for the Tigers.
1. With defensive line coach Dennis Johnson sidelined with a torn patella in both knees, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron spent most of time helping coach the defensive line. He rarely wandered to the offensive end of the field.
2. That’s because offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger, passing game coordinator Joe Brady and running backs coach Tommie Robinson had things under control.
The Tigers’ quarterbacks and running backs worked on the mesh point in run-pass-option plays, then on short passing routes out of the backfield.
Five QB took snaps in this order: starter Joe Burrow, backup Myles Brennan, freshman signee Peter Parrish, walk-on freshman Walker Kinney and walk-on freshman John Gordon McKernan.
3. Freshman running back John Emery Jr. definitely has acceleration and runs every rep of drills at full speed.
4. The offensive line worked on the other side of the fields, away from the media who are only allowed to stand one side of the fields. But even that far away, the O-line looked huge.
The Tigers have four O-linemen that weigh 340 pounds or more – junior Devaughn Campbell (360), freshman signee Anthony Bradford (355), senior Adrian Magee (343) and freshman signee Thomas Perry (341).
5. Orgeron and his players didn’t budge during torrential 15-minute downpour about 25 minutes into practice. There wasn’t any lightning, so there was no need to head inside.
There will be an update later tonight after Orgeron meets with the media at 6:45 p.m.
