Vulnerability Alert

12-Personnel Viability 38% -32% vs Full Roster

Interior Trench Stamina 64% High Q4 Fatigue Risk

Red Zone Run-Block Grade B- Heavy reliance on 11-P

4-Man A/B Pressure Rate 24.2% -5.6% rush win leverage

SEC Game-Script Stress Test Elevated Trench Risk

Q4 Defensive Front Fatigue 78% (Severe)

11-Personnel Offensive Dependency 86% (High Predictability)

Interior Gap Control Efficiency 62% (Moderate)

Tactical Assessment (AP Baseline): Without Wright, LSU is heavily restricted from executing dual-tight end 12-personnel heavy packages, shifting offensive burden to 11-personnel 3-wide sets. On defense, the absence of Harris compresses the DT rotation to McKinley, Guillory, and Lee, causing a sharp spike in projected 4th-quarter defensive front snap wear.
