Bad offenses can't score points. You can't win a game without scoring points.
I'd argue that the SECCG vs Georgia is an example of a bad offense on a team that badly beat their opponent. LSU had around 30 yards passing in the game and that's making it sound better than it was.

Actually, 2011 was anomaly due to how bad their offense real was. A national ranking in offense of #86 sure as hell didn't get you into a national championship. It was a defense ranked #2 in total defense with a #2 rank in turnover margin. You then got annihilated by the team ranked #1, Bama.

For me, it's harder to watch when LSU has a bad defense. Having a ferocious, run stopping, hard hitting, ball hawking defense is almost an identity for LSU. With a bad offense, I always feel our defense would bail us out and win us the game.
Agreed 100%
Give me a top 10 defense over a top 10 offense anyday

It's harder to watch a truly bad defense, and it ain't really close. I think one of the posters above me mentioned that a dominating defense can make an average offense look good--if only because they give the O a lot more time on the field.
A bad O can always make something happen if the opportunity presents itself (we compiled a pretty impressive record from 09-12 with generally subpar offensive play).
With a bad D, your offense can be pretty damned good and you'll still lose a bunch of heartbreaking games because no lead is safe from a halfway decent offensive attack.

Saints in 2012 exemplified this

What hard about this question is I have to remember all the way back to 1999 to find a BAD lsu team.
The offense was lnept until dinardo left and then they put 40+ on arky
The defense didnt matter bc the offense would find a way to score a few points less.
Anyway last bad team I remember
