They shredded a bunch of inferior teams with run game.
We shredded several top 25 defenses too. While those stats are impressive, you left out one key detail; almost all of that happened with Fat Boy Bert at the helm, a coach known for choking away close games. Look at the scores of those losses, almost every single one of them was a one score game (except USC 2013 34-24, MSU 2010 34-24, Iowa 2009 20-10 (F**k Iowa) and OSU 2009 31-13) after we got back on our feet after down years in 2007 and 2008.
Moral victories I know, but there is a world of difference between teams that get blown out when they face tough comp and those that battle everyone they play to the wire. One or two plays go our way in those games and the record looks a whole lot different. I think that has some relevance when looking at past history.

Johnster,
I appreciate your points, but lots of running yard in losses are still losses. I won't put lipstick on our losses.
A stronger point may be.....that when LSU loses, it is usually a poorly played game by the tigers.
So if they do not 'show up' for the game.....it will be a loooong night on defense.

How many 1 score games did Wisconsin win last year?
Zero.
Losing close games is something your current coaches are just as capable of doing it seems.
