So what you're saying is first downs don't correlate to program success?
The original 12 SEC teams going back 5 seasons. The correlation is obvious. Statistically, having a +~80 first down differential leads to a 60% winning rate which is simply average in the SEC.
By the way, Florida is apparently better than us over the last 5 years as well as obviously Bama.

LSU has around +80 differential and 77% win percentage over that time, so obviously that differential is enough to sustain a successful program.
Also there's only 2 teams around +80, hardly enough to make any statistical analysis.
So again you answered you own original question by showing LSU has sustained success with that +~80 differential.

Damn Bama is winning at a 90% clip over the last 5 yrs
