possible but, unless i am mistaken, offenses are ranked by YARDAGE GAINED. in today's flag football environment, LSU will probably never be much better than barely in the top 50. yardage gained is not the way to win football games against top competition. this seeming emphasis on yardage gained is fairly new in college football; i'm thinking it is spawned by the passing offenses of some schools and the video game generation. high powered offenses (oregon for example) aren't so high powered when they play good defenses (lsu, auburn) now are they.

Passing efficiency and 3 rd down completion % are way more important IMO

I believe Bama was ranked 31st in yards per game last season. With an experienced Mett, line, WRs, and backfield, LSU could certainly put up some salty numbers if Cameron is the guy.
