re: Would you prefer an Elite offense or an Elite defense

Elite defense can change a game. Create fumbles, interceptions, sacks. Look at les miles. Had great defenses and couldn't get a quarterback that threw more than two hundred yards except mettenburger. But still won 10 games and one natty.

1. CFB is extremely different today than it was the last time Les Miles won 10 games.

2. The last time LSU won 10 games under Miles, we had the best passing offense in school history.

3. When Les Miles won a national championship, LSU had an innovative offense based out of the spread with two quarterbacks who could hurt you with their legs and arm, 3 NFL wide receivers, an NFL running back, an NFL full back, 3 NFL offensive lineman, and an NFL tight end.

The 2011 team was a top 20 scoring offense with NFL stars all over the field on offense.

This idea that LSU was competitive with "just a strong defense" under Miles is false. When Miles had bad offenses (2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016) LSU was a bad football team.
