Im not. Our 2011 offense was easily above average.

That offense was very hard to watch.


No it wasnt. Youre lettimg the UGA and bama game cloud your memory of our 2011 offense.

Defense and special teams helped them out big time.


And they hurt our offensive totals. We routinely started at mid field.just because our offense wasnt as good as the defense and special teams, it doesnt mean our offense was average.
quote:

that offense wasn't average why did we have 97 total yards & 0 pts? Did not get into field goal range that's SWAC ball vs the SEC.


Because we were playing the best defense in cfb history for the 2nd time that season. There are many good offenses in the past that that bama team wouldve shut down.
quote:

If an offense is worth a chit you will score at least 1 td. I mean could not cross the 50. No first downs in a whole half o


One game doesnt erase an entire season of good offensive play. Ive never understood why posters on here only think we have productive offenses if we move the ball on bama. They are the #1 defense in the country for a reason.

I want to make sure I got this right.

The only 2 teams Lsu played with a top 10 defense in 2011 uga & bama Lsu above average offense should've struggled because their opponents defenses were elite.

Okay Got It!!!

Uga granted Lsu wore them down in the second half and ran it down their throats, but in the 1st half 8 3 & outs not 1 1st down. The team finished with 30 yds passing thank god Lsu had an elite defense & special teams.

Bama 01/09/12 I rest my case.

There is not one above average offense that would go 3 & out 8 straight drives.

There is not one above average offense that gets held under 100 yds total offense, have trouble getting pass the 50 yd line and be held scoreless.

An above average offense will move the ball on any team regardless how great an opponents defense is.
