re: LSU total Offense Ranks in SEC since 2005

Using this argument, the 2007 offense was better than the 2013 quad. If you got to pick, which one would you rather have?

---

Easy, the one that won the NC, duh!!

Speculating some here, but our bowl game without Mett we had 4.0 yards per play.

I wonder where we'd stand without that game bringing our average down. This assumes, of course, that one is willing to accept the notion that Jennings should be discounted when considering stats. I know most critics arent that kind.

It finished tied for 3rd in the SEC west out of 7 teams

Just because other sec west teams had prolific offenses, DOESNT MEAN LSU'S WASNT.

quote:

. LSU's offense also finished 5th out of 7 in the SEC west in total offense

---

its like youre too dumb to insult. This is the last time ill say this. When LSU'S offense snapped the ball,there were only 11 teams out of 126 that were more successful at gaining yards.if thats no elite to you, then you dont understand football,Period

just because I don't agree with your stupid one stat be all argument is no reason for name calling. In my opinion, and I'm sure many others, you are stupid, but I'm not going to go on a message board and say it. I'm going to say this one last time, it doesn't matter how we compare to the San Jose States, North Texas, Rutgers and Virgina Techs of the football landscape, we compete in the western division of the SEC and those are the teams we have to beat to make it to the SEC championship game. We have to compete on the level with Alabama, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Auburn, and the Mississippi schools. Those are the teams we have to be better than. Compared to them, even with our overall superior and very experienced offense talent that year, Statistically we compared averagely in a year when we should have been head and shoulders above the rest of the west. It's the scheme. There is a reason no other teams in the SEC run it and probably no one else in college football and certainly not the NFL. The idea that you have to establish the run before you can pass and it's JUST about manning up and imposing your will and that nothing else matters on offense is a losing strategy. Maybe Bama could get away with it if they chose to do it due to their great o-lines and overall talent level year in year out, but even they have enough sense to know there is a better and more effective way to run a offense.

Youre right bro, i shouldnt have called you stupid.

quote:

I assume that is conference rank and not national. I would suggest you use the national ranking if you really want to make your point.

+1 also,
break down
RUSHING O rankings and PASSING O rankings

Then how in the world did we lose 4 games??????

Worst defense since 2008

quote:

---

if you can't see the difference between LSU's and Bama's offense then I don't know what to tell you. Everyone else can see it.

---

We have to hide our young QB. They can give the ball to their seasoned QB. There's your difference.

quote:

---

Do don't think our OC would like to run more plays. You act like it's a good thing to run less plays than your opponent,

---

Some coaches, like Gus Malzhan and Kevin Sumlin, prefer to run fast-paced. Others, like Brett Bielema and Mark Dantonio prefer to ground it out and work the clock. Neither is superior to the other. Fast Teams typically gain moe yards on offense and allow more yards on defense. Slow Teams typically gain fewer yards on offense and allow fewer yards on defense.

If an offense gains 400 yards in five drives, consisting of 5, 80 yards plays, is the offense worse than one that gains 400 yards in five drives, consisting of 50, 8 yard plays?

Or is the offense that averages 80 yards per play better than the offense that averages 8 yards per play?
