I keep saying this but nobody listens. LSU was ranked higher on D in 2013 vs the O in both the SEC and nationally. I think this mentality comes from the fact that the O was bad relatively speaking for several years. In an historic year for all offenses the Tigers had 4 or 5 guys that got the far majority of yards and points. They were great players for the Tigers and when I looked up the stats I was amazed as well. Ranters look the final stats up, it isn't difficult to do.

I like the hire regarding Ed, but I like to see what the production is on the field. Everyone knew Ed could recruit and he has not let anyone down.

People talk about the total offense not being ranked that high, I don't think that is fair. In some of the ooc games Jennings was playing in the 3rd quarter. Mett maybe attempted 1-2 passes in the second half. We do not run up the score. Yet teams like tamu are still throwing bombs while up 70 on Lamar. That's what skews the rankings, we could have easily padded stats in a couple of games in 2013, we didn't. Just a couple hundred more yards could move your offensive rankings. Which could have easily been achieved if they wanted to.


Looking at the d, no matter how high they were ranked, we struggled to get off the field on 3rd downs.
