Offensive Numbers & Return Yards

If you factor in the return yards (minimal in Vandy game), what does our offensive production look like ?
My point being, if you only have 40-50 yds to go you can't really put up big numbers. Factor in the defensive take-a-ways and stops deep in the opps side of the field... you don't have much to work with.

Interesting stat:
LSU had only 429 of potential offense last night - meaning that if they would have scored a TD on every drive, LSU would have only accumulated 429 yards of offense. We accumulated 264 total yards. That's 61.5% of our potential yardage.
Arkansas, whose widely believed to have one of the best offenses in the country, had 901 potential offensive yards yesterday. They actually had 433 yards of offense. That's 48.1% of their potential yardage.
Good field position, great defensive play, and grind it out running game equals less offensive yardage

My bad. I almost asked the exact question you answered.

A better, more telling stat is yds per pass attempt and yds per rush attempt. These will typically tell you about your offensive production.

A better stat is scoring TDs, especially when you are given the ball on the 10 yard line.

Yeah, Crowton sucks. He called three straight runs on that series.

I agree, but 5 of those drives stalled 20-35 yards from the end-zone

I agree that our yardage chances were limited. On the flip side, it's disappointing to only score 2 touchdowns when our average field position was in Moo territory. As long as we don't turn the ball over, and the defense continues to play great, then no way we lose more than 2 games this year.
Jefferson is the no-doubt, no-question starting qb and it's time to stop expecting different looks and explosiveness from the offense.

Definately agree in the Miss St game. Kind of tough to rack up yards when our ave. start is their 40 which is a good thing for our team, but don't go overboard and think we're the freakin' Loyola Marmaount of CFB

quote:We also had 100 hidden yards against MSU on interception returns. As a whole when you factor in everything, we have a lot to be excited about. We have a chance to be a more complete team than we have had since 2003 in all three phases of the game. We have scored points in all three phases of the game and have had big plays in all three phases of the game.

There is a logical flaw here too. If you have the ball on the 10 and gain 8 yards, it's 80%. But if you get it on your own 20, do the same thing, it's 10%.
If I am comparing LSU's offense to Arkansas, I look at:
4 Tds v. 2 TDs
31 points off of no turnovers to 29 points off of 5 turnovers
7.7 yards-per-play to 6.1 yards-per-play
Not some nice little made-up stat to feel better about our offense.

I'm not saying that we're a better offense than Arkansas, just pointing out that no offense in the country is going to put up huge amounts of yardage when your defense only gives up 7 points and the other team only punts twice.
