I'll say true, but offensive rankings can be deceiving. LSU often operates on a short field thanks to our defense and special teams, so I'm more concerned with our balance, 3rd down % and redzone efficiency than total yardage.

FWIW, six SEC teams finished in the top 50 last year. LSU averaged 374/ypg (85th) and would need to gain roughly 45 more yards/per to crack last year's top 50.

3rd down %


This is what I will be looking at next year. Get the ball, keep the ball down. We haven't been doing well with keeping it lately, but I'm hoping Cam can get that fixed.

ETA: 45 more yards per game translates into 4 more first downs at minimum. 1 first down would have won the clemson game, two would've won against bama.
