Miles, unfortunately, without the current staff, does have a record of many seasons without great offensive performance.


2005: 29.5 ppg
2006: 33.7 ppg
2007: 38.6 ppg
2008: 30.1 ppg
2009: 24.8 ppg (yikes..)
2010: 29.7 ppg
2011: 35.7 ppg
2012: 29.8 ppg
2013: 35.8 ppg
Average: ~32 ppg

By all accounts Harris and Jennings will be better than the Hatch/Lee/Jefferson that gave us two consecutive years below 30 ppg. If I had to make an educated guess.. LSU will average 29-31 ppg this season.

Which should be a potent enough offense to win every game on the schedule if the defense is good. Season will come down to leadership on offense and guys making plays in the clutch.

I think the offense lights it up this year. I think a lot of people are sleeping on this talented group. No, the skill position players aren't experienced, but they are very talented.

We will attempt fewer than 20 passes in every game.


2007: 31.7 apg
2008: 30.1 apg
2009: 25.8 apg
2010: 23.2 apg
2011: 19.9 apg
2012: 27.4 apg
2013: 25.1 apg

So with the exception of 2011.. which didn't really need to throw often.. you wrong bro.

vs Ranked teams (33 games)
2013: 28.7 ppg
2012: 18.8 ppg
2011: 29.8 ppg
2010: 26.8 ppg
2009: 14.5 ppg
2008: 26.2 ppg
2007: 33.0 ppg


Considering that most of the ranked teams LSU has played have been from the SEC or teams like Oregon, WVU, Virginia Tech, etc.. I'd call it respectable at the very least. I believe it's about 1.5 ppg behind what Alabama has averaged against ranked opponents under Saban.. and that's largely because of 2009 being one of the worst offenses I have ever seen

Guess what years are LSUs most productive in its history. I'll give you a hint....they're between 2005 and 2013

when I say this offense could be explosive, I'm not just talking about bombs. I'm talking about fournette busting loose for long runs, magee breaking loose for long runs, our receivers turning short passes into long gains, and our TE's grabbing 20-30 yarders down the middle. Big plays from routine plays. The talent is there.

8-9 in the box will have to be burned often.
