re: LSU is the number 2 team scoring in red zone

Wrong on every front.

LSU is #1 in RZ overall scoring % @ 97%.

as well as % of TD’s in the RZ @ nearly 80%.

Ohio State was 89% and 78% respectively. Which still wasn’t bad but Ohio State scores much more rushing the ball where LSU has passing the ball but shows that they can rush as well.

LSU has shown that they don’t have to have a run game for the passing game to work at a high level where as Ohio State was the opposite. They really needed the run game to work in order for their passing game to work at a high level.

At the same time the run game can be featured in any game as shown against some of the best defenses in the country. Auburn, Alabama, A&M and Florida had some of the best run defenses and LSU still ran the football as well as passed for good yardage.

Auburn was the only defense that held LSU out of the end zone enough to keep the game close and low scoring. It was also in the first half of the season and the game was still controlled by LSU for all 4 quarters. The Auburn game was a learning experience for this offense and since this game we haven’t been slowed down in the red zone. This game was also a very sloppy game from LSU’s standpoint. It’s was Burrow’s worst game, as far as accuracy and timely plays, as well as the entire offense, play calling included.

Point being this LSU team is much much different than it was during that time of the season as is Clemson when y’all played North Carolina. Even though I thought North Carolina played extremely well, especially at the QB position and play calling. Good Luck.

BTW just listen to your coaches talk. They know what’s coming. I heard very similar things from Kirby Smart after he watched tape of LSU. Saying things like this will be the greatest challenge, these guys are special, this will be a great measure of where we are as a defense, Burrow is the best QB I’ve seen on tape in all my years, no weaknesses, experience in this setting won’t have an impact, not sure why LSU’s defense gets a bad wrap and on and on.

Dabo is saying, we’re young, youngest team we’ve had, no matter what the outcome on the scoreboard this has been fun and a historic run, we’ll be better next year, LSU is going to move the ball on us and score, we have to score with them and on and on.

Your great DC is saying things like historic offense, greatest challenge, tough match ups, Burrow has seen all types of defensive looks and has success, he won’t be rattled, very confident QB, no weaknesses, if you do everything right they can still beat you in multiple ways and on and on. Very similar to how Georgia was talking and the DC from Florida was talking.

Basically saying we won’t be able to stop them so we will have to score with them.

LSU 52
Clemson 28
