If that's true lsu's offenses were above average in offensive points per game in all but 1 season during chavis' tenure.

2014- 76
2013- 23
2012- 57
2011- 17
2010- 45
2009- 76
2008- 30

so 2 years, below average, 4 years above average, the highest being 17, meaning that the 2013, using your own words, wasnt even the highest rated offense using your own metric. of course, that can be explained by the fact that the 2011 defense and special teams contributed greatly to scoring themselves, or putting the offense in a position to score easily. so, maybe (gasp!) points per game ISN'T that good of a metric to use.

You said an lsu offense where the qb almost broke the lsu passing record , JHill had the 2nd best rushing season in the history of the program, and 2 1000 yard wrs was just ok.


I also said that, while the 2013 offense may be good BY LSUS STANDARDS (since you are citing LSU records they broke) it was 35th in the country and 6th in the SEC, both of which are backed by facts.

Holy shite. Only because lsu doesnt run a hurry up offense. In 2013, only 11 other teams,in the entire country were more successful when the ball was snapped.why is that so hard for you to understand? Total offense is skewed.yards per play and points per play isnt.

Our offense in 2011 was good.

I think chavis was a damn good coordinator.

Having said that, your analysis pretty much highlights why you are on such a different page with many others. Yards per play is a much better statistic than total offense. Common sense should tell you this.

Chavis could do an unbelievable job and not finish in the top 30 at A&M because of the offense they run. And, you will be sitting there scratching your head trying to figure out why he isn't successful.
