In addition to being versatile, it is an incredible easy read for the QB that does not require he work through a progression or sort through a bunch of moving bodies in the middle of the field with any precise or difficult timing. They’ll run this from your standard slot alignment, from stack, off switch release, and all of that to dress it up, but the concept is basically this like, 20 times a game. The basic idea is pictured below, and it can be effective against basically anything. Vertical choice is the base concept of the entire offense because of how versatile and explosive it is. Easy explosive on the ground for Tennessee. Running the quarterback allows you to steal a number by adding the RB to the blocking scheme, but due to the spatial conflict created to the field and the draw action, he isn’t really needed for this play to happen. You get the edges rushing upfield so they’re out of the play and all you need is for your guards to hold up and your center to climb to the WILL linebacker. Tennessee takes advantage of this by running Q draw. He can still run a bender underneath his defender if the MIKE doesn’t get out there fast. Regardless, the MIKE linebacker here has to account for a lot of space in the hook/curl area to the field because of how far out the number 2 receiver is. Here, LSU has both their down safety and nickel out of the run-fit to deal with the number 2 receivers to either side. You can see how much space Sage Ryan is forced to cover here, there’s no way he can actually get to the bender and it’s an easy explosive for Tennessee. On the outside, the final #1 has the option to stop his route and run a comeback if he can’t get vertical leverage on his guy, and on the inside, the final #2 has the option to bend his route into space if he is capped vertically by a safety or head vertically if he can find space there. Here, Heupel dials up his staple concept which is their vertical choice (more on that in a bit). LSU decided to play quarters with their safeties fairly to try to ensure they didn’t give up any quick strike TDs on vertical shots. In the end of half situation especially, you really got a good look at how much stress your overhang defenders are placed under when playing a Heupel tree offense. It’s incredibly difficult for defenses to play both and very easy on the QB mentally, all he has to do is grip it and rip it. They do a great job sequencing their vertical shots off of their screen game.

It’s an extremely easy read, as they all are in this offense, for Hooker as he’s kept out of any condensed windows in the middle of the field where your timing and anticipation start to get really stressed. Worst case for the offense you just have a slot-fade 1 on 1 which they get vertical separation on. Off of that same action, you can throw vertically and potentially catch one of the DBs flat-footed or even triggering downhill. The defender responsible for him stays on the other side of the formation and it’s hard for the frontside linebacker to get over in time to make a tackle, so they steal a number here and create an easy play. Tennessee still wanted to maintain the easy offense and spatial conflict that these screens create, so they would late motion their TE across the formation and add him as an extra blocker, creating a 3 on 2 for the offense.
If you bring the safety down, you can eliminate that conflict. In 2-high, if you want to have a 2 on 2 on those receivers in the stack, you’d have to take your overhang defender out of the run fit, which creates positive numbers for them to run the football. In this game, LSU decided to play a fair amount of single-high so they could deal with Tennessee’s 2x2 stack quick screens that they use to create easy offense against 2-high structures. They dictate and use space, they dictate pace, and they manipulate numbers. The problem is, Tennessee’s offense creates some pretty irreconcilable structural conflict in some simple ways. They held Tennessee fairly comfortably below their averages and did enough to hold-serve. On D, frankly I thought they called a fine game. Daniels looked better and more decisive as a passer but without any structural change I don’t expect that increased success to translate against tougher units. On offense, the passing game performed better against a dreadful pass-defense but didn’t change much overall. From a tape perspective, there’s no real reason that LSU got BLOWN out.

LSU got blown out because of several high-impact, catastrophic miscues that spotted Tennessee double-digit free points. Look, LSU lost because Tennessee is the better team.
