LSU/Bama by the P5 numbers

LSU is overmatched. Nobody, not even Leonard Fournette can move the ball on that defense! Best team in the SEC and maybe college football.



I wanted to see how they stacked up against power 5 teams and how those numbers compared to each other. So I totaled up the offensive and defensive numbers vs power 5 teams. Because who really gives a shite that either side was dominant vs Northwest Upper City Technical State University. ***Prepare yourself for a wall of numbers...jump to the bottom for the team comparison***

So far all the talk about Alabama's world beater defense, LSU's defense essentially is identical when we look at yardage while LSU has a slight statistical offensive edge.
