again, using totals to rank offense is flawed and is skewed by the amount of play you run. lsu was 36th in passing yards PER ATTEMPT.
BUT
lsu was 115th in pass attempts per game. so of course our passing totals were low
People that use totals as a measurement for an offense's success dont really understand which stats are important and which arent.
Like i said and FACTS BACK UP, we were passing efficiency away from being elite last year.

Like yards per attempt aren't skewed by a low number of attempts? You rely on stats like a drunk uses a light pole, for support not illumination.

Yards per attempt alone would tell us that the service academies have the three best passing offenses in FBS. What a stat. No matter how you want to shade it, the passing offense is deficient. Yards per attempt is wonderful. Unfortunately we aren't efficient enough to use our passing game to move the chains or cross up defenses.

Yards per attempt arent skewed by anything. They show how successful your offense or defense was once the balk os snapped.

Says the guy using stats to shite on lsu's 2015 offense. Good god bruh. This was your post....

Below average passing offense, which hurts our balance and makes us predictable. Last year LSU was 106 in passing yards per game. That made LSU 11th in the conference. LSU was 12th in the conference in completion percentage. 102 in the country.

Im not sorry for trying to show you that no one that really knows football uses totals as barometer for success.

But yes i use FACTS to base my argument on and not biased opinion of posters on here that dont even get to see the all 22 film.
