You know that offense set records right? Two 1000 yard WRs, a thousand yard RB and a 3000 yard QB. Offense wasn't the issue that season. The defense was



The go to because it sounds so awesome. Now consider THESE given that we had an NFL QB, possibly the greatest WR tandem in NCAA history and a RB who lit up his rookie season. SEC Stats

Mett.
7th in completions
6th in Attempts
3rd in yards behind fricking Bo Wallace

People will bring up YPA but honestly. That just makes the above more absurd, not less


Hill led the SEC in rushing but let's not act like that's the reason for the passing numbers. We finished 4th in rushing basically tied with South Carolina and 6th in yards


And I'm sorry. Finishing 5th in the SEC in passing yards averaging 251 ypg was an abomination in hindsight. It basically means that despite having 2 guys nearly uncoverable and a VERY legit running game, our idiot couldn't figure out how to spread the ball around.

fricking Auburn with Tre Mason had a 3rd and 4th guy with more receptions than our 3rd

When you check other teams in the SEC, our passing game myopia is stunning in its incompetence.

And finally the whole point of offense. 5th in scoring

That team shouldn't have set LSU individual records. It should have set RECORD RECORDS!

Dude we were well balanced, had a great running attack a great passing game

All the above mentioned players had an awesome season

Hill averaged 6.9 a carry.

This means pretty much nothing

If we had throb more we probably would have still thrown to our first 2 options.

That was an explosive year in SEC offense with a lot of experienced QBs and big time offenses.

Objectively our offense was good.

3000 yards is good if you aren’t throwing it 65 times a game. Chill out.
