The 2011 team was not great, stop it

The 2011 LSU team were SEC champs which they deserve credit for but stop this “might have been” greatest team of all time talk nonsense. They were a typical Les Miles type team, great defense but poor offense when it mattered the most. Let’s just look at some facts here. Before you start hyping up Bama let’s look at how other teams performed vs that same 2011 Bama team.
Here is a list of teams that scored more points vs Bama in 2011 than LSU did in the national championship game:
1. A 2-10 Ole Miss team was able to score more points vs Bama. That is right. A 2-10 team has a better offensive performance vs Bama than LSU.
2. Georgia Southern Yep, a division 1-AA school put up 21 points vs Bama. In fact Southern Georgia scored mored points vs Bama in just 2 quarters (14 points) than LSU did in 8 quarters of play vs Bama.
3. Kent State. They scored 7 points. LSU could not cross midfield.
4. Tennessee. A 7 loss Vol team put up more points than LSU did.
5. Mississippi State. A 6 loss MSU team did better than LSU.
6. Penn State, with 4 losses that year.
7. Auburn, with 5 losses that year.
8. Florida, with 6 losses that year.
9. Arkansas, with 2 losses that year.
In fact the 2011 Bama team only had three shutouts all year:
1. 5-7 North Texas was shut out.
2. 6-7 Vanderbilt was shut out.
3. 13-1 LSU was shut out.
Let’s look at just a few other team’s first downs vs Bama in 2011 compared to LSU’s national championship game performance.
LSU= 5 (fewest 1st downs vs Bama for their entire season)
Georgia Southern= 14
Ole Miss= 9
North Texas= 11
Vanderbilt= 8
Total yards vs Bama=
LSU= 92 (fewest yards vs Bama’s D for the entire year)
Georgia Southern= 341
Ole Miss= 141
North Texas= 169
Vanderbilt= 190
So to sum up yardage and first downs: A 5-7 North Texas team, 7 loss Vanderbilt team, 2-10 Ole Miss team, and a freaking 1-AA school had nearly double the yardage and first downs than LSU could muster vs Bama in the national championship game.
I would not even rank the 2011 team as a top 5 LSU team all time and none of my top five all time LSU teams would ever get out performed by a 2-10 team in the biggest game of the year.

Why was this needed?
What about the other 13 games? It is Friday, amigo, step off the ledge.

Nothing like a good downvote to start the day

Ok...... I'll bite... IMO the 2003 team was/is the best LSU team of all time.
Posted on 1/26/18 at 9:16 am to ctiger69
2006 LSU was better, but they blew it. 2007 would have been better if not for the injuries. 2005 would have been better if not for Katrina.
05,06,07 LSU teams were USC like. They were loaded on both sides of the ball with nice depth. They were well put together teams.

So this is how we're gonna judge LSU now?

The 2011 LSU team had one of the most dominant regular seasons in CFB history. If they beat Bama in NOLA they are one of the top 5 of all time.

I mean bro, you think these Bama players/coaches had the same level of focus/intensity/preparation for Southern fricking Georgia that they did with a month to prepare for LSU? Do you think starters played the majority of the second half against these teams? GTFO

Congrats! You have succeeded in proving to all of us that you are an idiot, a jackass, and likely unemployed.

Just admit that you are this desperate to be in the discussion for Top 5 worst poster of all time.
Posted on 1/26/18 at 9:26 am to ctiger69
so you're only basing how good we were on how we played in our worst game of the season? seems fair
Posted on 1/26/18 at 9:26 am to ctiger69
You do realize that before the NCG that same 2011 team that you don't have in your top 5 all time was pegged as the best team in college football history right?
If not for having to play what ended up being the best team in college football on that day which backdoored themselves into the game just like they did again this year without winning their division let alone their conference, we could have went down as the best team ever.
So please stop! Les Miles lost that game, not that team. His shitty arse game plan and being so fricking stubborn lost us that game! Refusing to pull Jefferson out that game and at least giving Lee a shot was dumb! Hell Mett should have gotten a shot!
Oh and, 10 FG's and one throw away TD in 2 games against Alabama. Let that stat sink in.

Applying this same logic to our 2017 season makes Troy and MSU fireable offenses.
Posted on 1/26/18 at 9:27 am to ctiger69
The team that came within an inch on a FG attempt in Ames from being considered one of the greatest teams of all-time wasn’t “great?”
Okay.
Okay.
