LSU went through its final scrimmage of the spring on Saturday leading up to the annual L-Club Spring Game on April 6 in Tiger Stadium with a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Ed Orgeron met with the media on Tuesday and said the scrimmage lasted 110 plays with the offense completing 74 percent of its passes with five dropped passes.

“It was an outstanding day by the offense,” he said. “The defense competed, but then they got down in the red zone, and the offense kind of wore the defense down a little. The defense came back today and competed in the two-minute drill and played very well…it was an excellent day by the defense and was good to see.”

Orgeron said Joe Burrow and Myles Brennan have both thrown the ball well in a “lot of four and five receiver sets”.

Tiger fans should be excited about the direction the offense is moving in, but they may be disappointed come Saturday.

“We’re not going to show everything,” Orgeron said. “It’s going to be a very basic spring game. We’ll show some things we’ve been working on, but we’re not going to open up the playbook for the spring game.”

Offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and passing game coordinator Joe Brady will continue to tweak things on offense when spring practice ends. Orgeron added there will be days when both will not be on the road recruiting during the spring evaluation period that kicks off on April 15 and runs through May 31.

Once the eval period wraps up, LSU will hit the summer camp grind in June and the staff will have some time off in July before fall camp starts later that month. That makes April and May an important stretch for Ensminger, Brady and the offense.

Orgeron did say the staff can meet with players twice a week during June, so there will still be some installation on the offensive side in between camp stops.

“I think coach Ensminger has done a fantastic job of transforming this offense from a power offense to a spread offense,” Orgeron said. “Joe Brady has done a tremendous job and Mickey (Joseph) has. I think the key to the whole thing is having Joe Burrow back.”

Sources told Geaux247 the starting offensive line in the scrimmage from left to right was Saahdiq Charles, Adrian Magee, Lloyd Cushenberry, Damien Lewis and Austin Deculus and Orgeron said the O-line “has made a lot of progress.”

Orgeron praised Clyde Edwards-Helaire for a great scrimmage with a lot of plays made out of the backfield as LSU continues to work on throwing the ball to the backs.

On the special teams front, Orgeron said the kickers made 11-of-12 field goals on Saturday with Avery Atkins and Connor Culp both mentioned for the job they did.

True freshman Derek Stingley continues to turn heads on punt returns.

“I think he’s going to be dynamic,” the headman said.

LSU has dealt with a lot of injuries on the defensive side of the ball with Rashard Lawrence out all spring recovering from off-season knee surgery. Breiden Fehoko has been limited as well with backup Neil Farrell also missing time.

With K’Lavon Chaisson also limited to non-contact drills, defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is searching for help in rushing the passer. Orgeron said Travez Moore has looked good at times with four sacks on Tuesday but also had three offsides penalties.

“We just need more consistency our of him (Moore),” Orgeron added.
