Lmao are you honestly serious with this comment? You literally had 3 first round picks on your d line last year who were all seniors. As talented as yalls defense is this year, no way in hell are they as talented as they were last year. Plus I don’t care what you say but Georgia’s defense is as good if not better than yours especially considering the teams they have played compared to y’all and we saw how that game turned out. You keep referring to old games that we played earlier this year to shite on our defense and not the last 4 in which we have been dominating teams. Btw we have more nfl talent on our defense than yours.


LSU played their starters on Offense the entire game and didn't break 500 yards or 40 points. If LSU doesn't break 500 yards or 40 points vs Clemson, LSU will lose by double digits.

Can you please go into detail the elite offenses that UGA played other than LSU?

It was 34-3 to start the 4th, a quarter in which burrow had 1 pass attempt.

Again, you imply LSU can’t slow down Clemson’s O. They already slowed down a better offense. So why is Clemson any better?

So let me get this straight ....

LSU’s offense takes their foot off the gas at the beginning of Q4 with a 34-3 lead over the #2 defense in the country = “LSU couldn't even get 500 yards and 40 points against #2, so they’ll lose by double digits to Clemson”

LSU offense continues to play aggressive in the 3Q against OU, racking up almost 700 yards and >60 points for a 35-point MOV in the CFP semifinals = “Orgeron just loves running up the score”

So how does one evaluate a team’s offensive performance if MOV is a reliable metric but also not, aggressiveness in garbage time is meaningful but also meaningless, and YPG is totally predictive until it increases past some nebulous standard by which it then becomes “padded” and loses all validity?

Maybe a more pertinent question: How does Clemson perform according to those same standards? I’d think a person with such an affinity for stats would really enjoy exploring that, especially when he himself has been free to set any random parameters he chooses to create a favorable algorithm.
