What surprises will the offense be able to throw at LSU’s defense?

Earlier this week, Mississippi State’s Luke Getsy said that the Bulldogs would try to surprise LSU’s defense. The Bulldogs are apparently going to add “more new wrinkles” into the offensive scheme to try and take down the Tigers.

Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said there are some more new wrinkles that the team has thrown into this week’s game plan. He said you can’t just line up and play simple football in a conference like the SEC.

So… what do those wrinkles entail? Will the Bulldogs be able to complete a considerably higher percentage of passes in this game than what they’ve done up to this point? Are there going to be some trick plays?

What does this honestly mean?

When the Bulldogs got back to the basics to beat the Auburn Tigers, they didn’t really simplify the offense. There were different formations, new movements, and running backs lining up out wide. Can we expect some more of that in this week’s game?
