Has anyone come to terms with us having the #1 Offense in the country yet?

I still think I’m dreaming or something.

It’s a backwards world we are living in right now.

Not really since Oklahoma has the #1 offense in the country.



















But I still haven't come to terms that this is real life.

I'd love to talk about it but all anyone wants to do is piss and moan that the defense is "not good" (its perfectly fine).

Try to make a positive thread about this wild ride we’ve been dreaming about for years and in comes some jackass to steal away your happiness.

Screw him. LSU has the highest average PPG in the country.

Scoring offense is the only metric I care about.

Is the purpose of an offense to get first downs, gain yards, or score points?

Score points. IDC how many yards or first downs you have if you can't put up the points.

I’m fired up that we now have an offense that not only putting up ridiculous stats but also being able to sustain drives. BUT, I want to see how this holds up against SEC defenses in consecutive weeks.

I came to terms with it over the last decade and up to 11 years ago when I repeatedly said Les needs to go because the most talented team in the country shouldn't be in the 100's in offense and losing to teams like bad Arkansas and Ole Miss teams, and beating bad Auburn teams 12-10. Most people disagreed with me, seems like most of those now agree with me.

Funny how that works, some of us are ahead of the times

Has anyone come to terms with the defense giving up 30 points a game?

No, not really.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it. I always thought CEO would change the offense, but never imagined to this degree.

Because of that huge change I'm still apprehensive that it will continue. Have no reason to think it won't, but it is still hard to shake. Hence, my 'coming to terms' hasn't happened yet.

Plus, I'm like Ricky Bobby and not knowing what to do with his hands when I can't rip on the OC and be uber-critical of the OL.

Well, I can still be uber-critical of the OL... it's in my blood after all these years.

No there are miserable fricks saying we need a more balanced running game and the ability to chew more clock.

Yes as well as coming to terms with our defensive situation. It's vital that they dominate against USU. If we continue to have the same problems defensively, beating Fla, Aub, and Bama ain't happening.

I completely agree. I absolutely welcome the points and the wins. It definitely looks like effective and successful football, and I do believe LSU will win more games than the traditional approach. The difficulty I have is telling myself this is LSU football.

I enjoy seeing the I-Formation, Fullbacks, Toss-Dives, and opponents' being held to baseball scores; but seeing LSU winning more football games is more important to me than my preference on how they win the games.

If the coaches can beat the inertia of decades of tradition and metamorphize the team like they have (at our request I should add), then it is very reasonable for us the fans to learn to acquire a taste for this style of ball.

But, but, but we don’t lead the nation in rushing yards on a 3rd and long on our side of the field when we have 1 timeout left in the 3rd Qtr on Saturday nights after 7pm.

Seriously, points are the only stat that truly matter. Who cares how they get on the scoreboard, just as long as they keep racking up.

There was a moment in the Northwestern game where a few of their defenders got hurt and i was like "oh could they be faking it to slow us down? is that real possibility now?"

Two things LSU fans aren't used to seeing:

1) An explosive offense that doesn't take its foot off the pedal

2) A soft, weak defense that gives up big play after big play and can't tackle on top of all that.
