See if you can find LSU



He doesn’t define what “quality drive” means. I assume it’s something like sustained movement with few penalty yards and getting to the red zone.

Pretty graph that's another data point showing that LSU has one of the worst Red Zone offenses in the country. Especially when you look at RZ touchdowns.

Is my interpretation that we are the worst team at finishing drives in the country? We have a decent clip of quality drives, but we have the lowest expected points per quality drive. Am I reading that right?

Seems like it shows that we are THE worst redzone offense

the x axis is driven by talent alone, where as the points per quality rive (y axis) is driven by piss poor coaching / play calling

Basically we can get to the opponents side of the field better than the average team but then we either stall out or settle for a FG.

I knew this without without needing to seeing a graph

The way I read it is a quality drive is one that results in points scored.

This graph shows that LSU has quality drives on roughly a third of its drives and averages just over 2 points when it does.

Sloan is a complete waste of whatever we pay him. Hell, minimum wage would be too much given what he produces.

The surprising thing about that graph is that we’re moving the ball pretty well for the most part(last 2 weeks probably help this)

Not shocking at all to see were the most inept redzone offense in the country

We're in purgatory.

Edit: Anything less than 3 points per quality drive is a sign of a very bad offense. LSU is averaging less than 2. I take back what I said above. We're in HELL.

So we don't just have a bad offense we have a historically terrible offense. Great.

Follow the 1.75 line across to between the 45 & 50% lines.

Better yet, contrast Notre Dame against LSU. Ouch!

For those over-analyzing this….It’s pretty simple and you already know what it’s saying….

WE DON’T SCORE ENOUGH POINTS. We occasionally move the ball, but for whatever reason can’t score enough.
