For years the adage "defense wins championships" was the prevailing wisdom.
That is true, but LSU has been ranked in the top 12 in scoring defense 7 of the last 10 years and only once outside of 21.

On the other hand the scoring offense has only been ranked in the top 12 twice...2006 and 2007.

The irony of LSU's 2007 National Championship is from a statistical standpoint that defense(scoring) was the 3rd worst during Miles tenure, but the scoring offense was Miles 2nd best.......things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

If we didn't need to put up 50 points to beat Bama, Kentucky, and Arkansas we wouldn't have attempted to. Injuries turned a dynamite defense into dogs hit by midseason.
