Good block from Aliou Bah here. LSU runs insert, he seals off the gap. LSU's OL is also getting better at dealing with movement.

Sam Leavitt has added 12 more points of value passing the ball than the No. 2 ranked passer in the SEC. Leavitt is everything that LSU paid for, and he’s far better than he was at Arizona State Kiffin and Co have built another star quarterback

SEC Teams | Adjusted Points Per Drive • Florida's offense is good • Ole Miss and Texas are both top-5 teams in the SEC, and both playoff contenders • Kentucky and Tennessee are good, but probably not good enough to make CFP runs • Georgia, Bama, LSU top 3 teams in SEC in my opinion

SEC adjusted EPA/play. 1st graphic all FBS games. Second only SEC play. • On paper, LSU is elite. We'll see if the Tigers can back it up in November. • I still think the Ole Miss offense is very good • Kentucky offense moving in the right direction • Texas and Tennessee will need the defense to carry

I’m not sure we watched the same game

Not true, LSU's offense is one of the best in college football when you adjust for opponent

SEC adjusted EPA/rush for offense and defense, conference games only • LSU's run game and run defense haven't been great in SEC play, LSU needs to turn that around tommorow • South Carolina, maybe better than we think?

Which new hires have made the most immediate improvement at new schools? - Only three first-year coaches have a better net epa jump than Lane Kiffin - Eric Morris and OKST are the most improved - Weill Stein top five - Jim Mora's Colorado State better despite the poor defense

Jordan Ross has really taken a step as a run defender this year; he plays with force and can set the edge. Ross' run defense grade is 94th percentile among SEC defensive ends

This is where LSU should spend that Easton Royal money

LSU LB TJ Dottery among SEC LBs • Run stop rate -- 84th percentile • Yds per coverage snaps -- 89th percentile • Catch rate allowed -- 100th percetile • Pressure rate -- 95th percentile • Missed tackle rate -- 78th percentile The Ole Miss transfer having an All-SEC caliber season

Tennessee's havoc rate vs. Alabama was 32.7% That's five percent more than the next-best mark in an SEC game this year, which was actually Florida's defense vs. Texas on Saturday

Xavier Gilliam is a beat. Carroll is a pretty good RG, and Gilliam caves him in to collapse the OL and sheds the block to make a stop.

SEC yards per play over expectation = how a team performed vs. what its opponent normally allows (offense) or normally gains (defense) against everyone else. Conference games only. Ole Miss defense - better than September results said Texas defense - elite elite UGA offense - very good
