That statistic is very telling, especially when you consider LSU has played AT LEAST 50-60% of teams with lesser talent.

It says a few things, really:

1- Les's usually strategy of slowing down the number of plays keeps lesser teams in the game longer. It only stands to reason that if you have superior talent you should run MORE plays, not fewer. It's the same with ping pong or volleyball or anything else.... if you play to one instead of 21 you give the guy with lesser talent a far greater chance of winning.

2- We have won on talent and depth, not on strategy or game planning.

3- We have lost some games we should have won, including against teams with talent on a par with LSU's.
