re: Some of you have deluded yourselves about our offense

How many of those defenses are ranked where they are because they played LSU already?

It appears the NCAA.com database is not fully updated. That at least gives us a bit of insight.

Prior to playing LSU, Ole Miss was allowing 351.8 ypg. That had them ranked roughly in the 60s. Not great by any means. However, after playing LSU that average ballooned to 408 ypg which now has them ranked in the 100's.

So while the OP does have somewhat of a point that the defenses LSU has played to date haven't been great, their current rankings/stats are skewed by the fact they have played LSU.

LSU gained 100 yards more vs. MSU than any other opponent they have played to date. Same for Arkansas. LSU gained appx. 150 yards more vs. Ole Miss than any other opponent they faced.

Two things can be true. The defenses LSU has played to date haven't been great AND LSU's offense is still very, very good
