While I agree with you, have you considered the fact that it’s easier to rack up stats against weaker teams all year than in the SEC?

jesus!
we play in the SEC, not the fricking NFL.
let’s not be those mouth breathers that thinks teams like Vandy would dominate the Big Ten.

And actually it would theoretically be easier to rack up sack numbers in a league that is extremely pass happy. Like the Big XII. Rather than a conference like the Big Ten where they do not pass nearly as much.

Trivia for you, the Big Ten attempted fewer passes than any other Power 5 conference (per team basis).
Therefore there are fewer opportunities to register a sack.

What about if they had as many starters miss games as we did?

do you actually know how many games any of their starters missed?
serious question, because other than Young’s two game suspension, i do not know how many of their starters missed games.

The truth is, we have no idea who's better because the level of competition isn't the same, so for some asshat like Thamel to say LSU D isn't comparable to Ohio St is laughable and based on nothing but conjecture.

---

it is conjecture because we actual have no like opponents.
but it’s conjecture based off of the information available to us.

and if you look at that info objectively, Ohio State’s D-Line beats ours out in pretty much every measurable category.
