By keeping the ball 25% more than SC we allowed our defense to.

1. Rest More
2. Obtain extra coaching on sideline between series.
3. Limited SC to running 20 less plays then Mizzou/State

Yeah when you covert 3rd down at an 80% clip as opposed to a 0% things go much better.

You mean not allowing the defense to be on the field...

OL won the game for us. They literally beat the crap out of the USCe's front 7. Some of those holes were enormous.

The offensive game plan was perfect.

bullshite.

TOP never scored a point. TOP doesn't get you awarded points. Neither did field position. In fact, field position can be more correlated to points and thus wins and at the same time a "worse" TOP.

TOP is a by product of how both sides of the ball play. Not just defense, not just offense.

The offensive line deserves the credit for opening running lanes and giving Finley time to throw.

South Carolina sucking, and our defense playing slightly better than other games, won the game for us.

Didn't help players being out of position throughout the game.

Stupid me. I thought it was the 52 points versus SC's 24.

This is the reason

South Carolina had more yards per play than LSU. 20 more plays for them would have been a disaster.

It also helped that LSU jumped out to a lead early forcing South Carolina to pass. They averaged almost 6 ypc. There’s a good chance they could have ground LSU to dust. I still think they got away from the run too much.
