Yet Alabama still scored 41 points. LSU gave up 38 points to Vanderbilt that season. A bad Texas team scored 38 points.

Sure they were arguably the best offensive team in college football history but the 2003 and 2011 defenses were better than 2019.

Lsu gave up a punt return, and 2 miscommunication cheap TDs with all American DB. Take away 21 points, and the game wasn't that close.

You also have to figure that LSU’s offense was much different in the Saban and Miles eras. Much more dependant on running the ball, which chews up clock. 2019 we were running a pass heavy offense with a fast tempo and scoring quickly…which meant more possessions per game. So its not really a fair comparison to look only at points allowed. 2019 wasn’t an all-time great LSU defense but they were definitely a solid one

This narrative is bs Vandy scored two flukey defensive TDs that game to get to 38
