It's why Brennan will have a superb year this year; not 60 TDs, but 35 is definitely within the realm of possibility and 35 is a damn good number for the NCAA.
You've met your match. I was actually fortunate to both be at the Peach Bowl and Natty this past year. I always joke how bitter I'd be for the rest of my life if COVID shut everything down like a week before the natty.
I have the O/U on Brennan TDs at 30 (if a full season is played). 35 is what I'm guessing as well.
I don't think you're giving Brady enough credit though. Brady taught Ensminger and the team the Saints scheme, concepts, and nuances. It's not a system Ensminger had ever played in or called. At the same time, though, Ensminger was the one calling most of the plays, and its clear that he understands it enough to keep it going masterfully. My bigger question for LSU this year is how well teams adapt with a year to study, but with all of LSU's offensive athleticism, only a few teams really have a shot.
