averaged 32.4 points per game which is more than the team averaged in the 2017, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009 and 2008 seasons. Also 402 yards per game which is more than the 2014, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 seasons. Of course the team averaged 464 ypg in the 2016 season in the games Ensminger was the OC, which is higher than any season in LSU history. Have we ever had a better OC than Ensminger? The numbers seem to indicate that we haven't.

really just looking forward to what Ensminger and Brady can do with the offense in 2019 when they will have more experienced and talent to work with.

Everyone knows that 7 ot game is the reason the averages are so high.
We basically got 14 games worth of production in 13 games.
The day before a&m we were at 384 ypg.
And 27.8 ppg.

Our offense was garbage.
Southeastern held us to 63 yards and 3 1st downs in the 2nd half.

We had less than 400 yards 7 times.
We had less than 350 yards 5 times.

I don't want to crap on your argument here, because I do think that LSU's offense was better than what pure numbers might show, but the A & M game really inflated the numbers for the season. Take the OT points and stats out of that game and then do a comparison to get a more realistic idea.

Can we not overhype 2018's offense. The last 3 games were very promising, burrow clearly felt more comfortable in the last 3 and our offense did well. But majority of the season our offense struggled and was an eye sore.

I'm optimistic about 2019 offense with the returning talent, Joe Brady, and incoming freshmen. But let's not act like 2018 was anything more than average-slightly above average.

Total offense was 64th.
37th with 2 defensive tds.
37th in scoring because Cole tracy was 2nd in field goals per game.
37th with an entire extra game worth of overtimes.

37th.


You know all of these things.

Unfortunately this stat is irrelevant, as we should be compared to other offenses around the country. That statistic is not favorable and is actually embarrassing. Most of the current offenses are putting up much better numbers than the past. Unfortunately most teams have adapted much quicker and have shown more improvement than we have.

Remove the 7 OTs and see what you get.

Red zone productivity scoring touchdowns was not where it should have been, I enjoy watching this LSU offense and short of scoring TD's in the red zone we are in good shape.

The staff needs to get more aggressive in the red zone instead of worrying about turning the ball over or walking away without getting a field goal. There does seem to be a mindset change when they get into scoring position.

OT games skew stats. Mindless statistics. Try again.

And you nerds wonder why the “haters” are constantly “shitting on” this coach and staff when they simply refute nonsense like this, joking or otherwise
