It's like when people try to claim a win in baseball isn't as valid because the losing team kicked the ball all over the field. Playing defense is a part of baseball, just like playing disciplined and mistake-free football (e.g. minimizing penalties and turnovers) is part of football.

It's hard to gauge, because of field position, turnovers, and other things.

LSU started past their own 40 on three of their first five drives. Well that's because LSU forced 3 and outs and their punter sucked (22, 20, and 34 yard punts).

LSU's next FG was set up by great field position again (LSU 44), due to a good PR by Giles.

Another INT led to another FG, and then LSU shut it down, gaining 50 total yards the rest of the game.

Stats can say whatever you want. I'm skeptical about parts of the win, but being up 33-3 with 19 minutes left in the game says dominance.
