Clemson scored 38 against UGA, and only 26 against NC State. USCe scored 30 against UGA, and only 27 against UNC. The Gamecocks only scored 35 against Vandy at home, just five more than at UGA. North Texas scored as many points against UGA as they did against Ohio U.

None of the teams UGA has played has a defense or a special teams the caliber of ours. And only Clemson's offense is anywhere near LSU's.

You might be surprised to learn that LSU is scoring more PPG than Clemson, 40.3 to 38.6.

And yes, Clemson has played more name opponents, but not necessarily better defenses. UGA's defense is 85th in points given up, NC State's is 42nd.

TCU is 62nd in points given up, Auburn is 51st.

Didn't bother with the cupcakes for either.

You're just stating things in a way attempting to make UGA worse than they really are, and LSU better than they are. Let me try the same thing

UGA has a top 6 SOS of schedule while LSU is in the mid 60s and they average over 90 more yards per game than LSU.

UGA has gained at least 536 yards in each game, while LSU has only gained more than 460 once in 4 games.

TCU scored 17 more points on LSU than they did against Texas Tech

UAB had over 50 more rush yards and a higher YPC against LSU than they did against Troy. UAB outrushed LSU that game as well.

Mett only has 2 TDs and 1 int combined against the two best defenses LSU has faced. He also has a 55% completion percentage in those games. Murray had 4 TDs and was 17-23 against USC, a better defense than either TCU or AU.

Mett has a 28% completion percentage in the Redzone. Murray has a 69% completion percentage in the Redzone.

Kent State scored 13 on LSU, 17 on Liberty, and were shut out by Penn State. Based on this logic LSU's defense is comparable to Liberty and worse than Penn State's D.

LSU hasn't played a true road game yet.

I could of made this list a lot longer, but point is it's easy to pull out random stats from random games and make them look worse or better than they are.

Mine weren't "random stats" though. The unit rankings I posted are from the SEC and ESPN.

LSU ranks higher on offense, defense, and special teams than anyone UGA has played to date. One of only eight teams in the country who has never trailed in a game...unlike any team UGA has yet to face.

I'd didn't add, but I could have, that LSU also wins the battle in turnover margin. I didn't think it was necessary.

USC didn't need to keep scoring against Vandy or NC to win

1. You only beat Vandy by 10 points.

2. So you're trying to state that you stopped scoring in those games because you were ahead, however, you don't think LSU stopped trying to rack up yards in big chunks when they were beating UAB by 40? Or when we ahead of Kent State 30? I guess LSU was really trying to rack up yards in those games.

3. None of these stats are important, however, don't try to make a point by saying LSU didn't gain many yards and then come back and say that South Carolina didn't need to score more points in their games.
