Somebody told me LSU broke almost every LSU offensive record last year and had the best 3rd down offense in the Country. I guess the best offense in LSU history just don't explain it enough. Oh well rantards gonna rant



The best offense in school history was barely a top 20 total offense for that year as far as NCAA rankings go.

LSU had star power on that offense. That group of guys shouldn't have broke records, but destroyed them. They had the talent, abilities, and opportunity. What they lacked was a great game plan week in and week out. No offensive adaptation.

The game plan is still the same. Those guys were just better.



Just sayin..

Do you realize how little total offense has to do with actually winning games? It's well down the list. The offense was sixth in the country in passing efficiency and first in third-down conversions, which are both much greater predictors of winning than total offense.

As for coaching, I'd argue that the rookies are having such great success because, in addition to their excellent individual talents, their season in Cam's system made the transition for them much easier. They've all alluded to that fact. Jeremy Hill said it was extremely easy because Hue Jackson and Cam coached with one another.
