B wins more games, so I'll go with B
Posted on 12/17/14 at 1:07 pm to chilge1
I'd rather have B. I want a good offense as much as anyone here, but a stronger defense gives you a better chance to win.

Team A
- outscores opponents by 40%
- out gains opponents by less than 30%
Team B
- outscores opponents by over 70%
- out gains opponents by 40%
I'll gladly take B over A

Why can't we have "C"?
C)
Total Offense: 450 ypg
Rushing: 175 ypg
Passing: 275 ypg
Points: 35 ppg
Total Defense: 250 ypg
Rushing: 100 ypg
Passing: 150 ypg
Scoring: 14 ppg
If C isn't an option then B it is.

A. If you score 35 and lose something is really wrong

B
Defense still wins championships.

I love the hypocrisy from the fellow Ranters. Not you specifically, but idiots like Will Blackwell who want Texas Tech as our head coach when the dude scores 50 every week and loses 5 games.

It happens all the time in college football. It's why tcu isn't in the college football playoff
Posted on 12/17/14 at 2:39 pm to chilge1
It depends, do you want to win in the SEC or the Big 12
Posted on 12/17/14 at 3:24 pm to chilge1
A is basically the 2013 LSU team 9-3
B is basically the 2014 LSU team 8-4
While both teams were frustrating to watch a times, for different reasons, this season was miserable compared to last season.
BTW the 3 best seasons under Miles have also been his 3 best scoring offenses(based on ppg ranking of that season).

That's not surprising since LSU is always near the top in defense aside from '13 and '08

For years the adage "defense wins championships" was the prevailing wisdom. In todays college gane it could just as well be "the last team with the ball wins."
