"Fresh off a decisive 29-9 Citrus Bowl victory over Louisville, LSU nation is riding high, as it well should be. But after going back through the tape, it’s clear that the win wasn’t as decisive as the scoreboard — or even the stats — say it was."
"What I mean when I say the win wasn’t as decisive as we think is simple: LSU won because of the way it shut down Louisville’s passing attack. That’s it. LSU’s offense might’ve played its worst game since Alabama (more on that later) and the run defense honestly didn’t play up to its potential either."
Is this real life?

Yeah all we did was shut down the heisman winning QB that averages more yards per game on his own than most offenses do.
We don't deserve it. Give it to the team that barely got past their own 20

Good god that is hard to read

good grief...

Im pretty sure that was the game plan. They knew UL had a decent D especially inside.

clever analytical strategy...take out LSU's best plays (sacks and long Guice run), and we statistically weren't that good.

many of his bigger runs came at the end of the game when the outcome was already decided
so, no.
referring to Jackson here

He is right about the offense. Guice didn't really have a great game. He busted that long one, but before that, he had been held in check. Louisville does have a good rush D though.
And Etling was very erratic. He was bailed out several times by Dupre. It was pretty frustrating game to watch the offense.
The defense was incredible though.

If you look past about 15 great plays and change the way some stats are compiled, LSU wasn't that impressive. That is the short version.

So when Jackson scrambles for a positive gain, it's rushing yards. But if he's tackled behind the LOS (even when scrambling and looking to run), it's a sack and doesn't decrease his rushing total?

I always get a good laugh from these 23 year old web writers who try to break down film and analytics like they are a coordinator.

Every college football game could be analyzed similarly. I bet if this writer looked at the OSU-Clemson game, he would conclude that OSU had a chance to win. Flawed logic

That isn't some seriously dumb arse shite, and he's just trying to be edgy and original. Proof of that is found in his wanting to give the MVP to Godchaux or Bower over Guice

So basically, if you ignore things like stats and the final score, it was a close game. God that stuff reads like an Onion article almost

So I just skimmed the article, and every sentence basically says LSU's rush defensive numbers are not good if you eliminate sacks.
Well, when a QB has an RPO (designed run-pass option) and is tackled behind the line, it's a sack. It's also what Louisville's entire offense this year is designed to do. Give Jackson a chance to throw the ball, but make a quick decision to run it if coverage is good. LSU focused on stopping the freaking Heisman candidate, and had a ton of success taking away Louisville's biggest strength. Hence the blow out.
This guy is either trying to sound smart or just trying to shite on a great bowl win for LSU. He's typical media mentality to get a rise by challenging the consensus opinion. Sometimes this is good for debate, but in this instance, he looks dumb when he keeps saying if you eliminate sacks.

He isn't wrong about the offense. Etling simply is not the future and it will be a long season next year with him at QB. I like him a lot and you can tell he plays hard...he's just not that talented. Then again, we don't have anything else. Maybe he'll see a nice jump in maturity next year and prove me wrong. I just see him as being at his ceiling right now and an average QB at best. He has some nice things about him like pocket awareness but you can see his physical limitations hold him back in games. Playing defenses with a pulse really exposed those parts. That said, defensive performance was elite hard to complain about anything there. Article really is dumb. Can't believe I gave it hits.
"So if you remove this big play, that big play, then this big play...it's a close game"
How the frick is that any different from ANY game ever?
Link should be removed and only post the article in OP's post. Doesn't deserve hits.
