I have no idea what you are responding to, so I'll assume its the 6 times in 6 seasons line. first, 6 times is using the games yall believe the defense blew. I disagree with that number. I will concede that the bama 2012 game, and the UGA 2013 game is on the defense. so really, its more like twice. so really, its more like once every three seasons. not really that bad at all.

secondly, I still, in 16 pages, have not gotten an answer as to why our defense is expected to get a 3 and out every possession, but no one "expects" our offense to score every drive.

if you are going to sit here and say that a defense should stop the opposing offense, every time, then why is it that the offense is not expected to score everytime, regardless of how bad the defense is playing (which, a reminder, was very rare)?

Since 2009, when our defense has attempted to preserve a lead late in the 4th, LSU is 11-6.

Since 2012, in such games, LSU is 6-5.

2009 Penn State
2012 Alabama
2012 Clemson
2013 Ole Miss
2014 Alabama
2014 Notre Dame

This doesn't include near-disasters like 2014 Florida, aTm, or Ole Miss.

An offense's goal changes based on the conditions of a particular game. It can either be to score or to burn clock.

But in a typical scenario, our offense is expected to score every drive.
