2011 team was easily more talented than 2006.

I'd say 2006's offense gives that team the overall edge against 2011. 2011's defense vs 2006's offense is a wash, but it's hard to argue that 2011's offense would compare with 2006's defense, which was still very solid. The 2011 team put lots of points on the board, but a lot of that was due to the defense putting them in excellent field position.

Anyways, that 2006 Florida game is definitely in the top 3 most frustrating games to watch. I don't think I've ever seen a college team make so many critical errors in one game. IIRC, LSU's miscues included:

-Fumbling at UF's 1-yard line
-Fumbling a kickoff return
-Fumbling a punt return
-Allowing UF to block a punt

I'm sure I'm missing a couple more...

The incredible thing is - considering UF was the eventual national champion - that they still only lost that game by 13 points. Had the situations been reversed, and it was UF making all those costly mistakes, LSU would've won in a 42-14 blowout.

LSU's offense was easily more talented in 2006. Defense is a wash. 2011 probably has a little edge. Offense puts 2006 on top.
