You mean teams score more now?
You’re going to get downvoted like nobody’s business but you’re not wrong in pointing out one of the many weaknesses in this argument.
O deserves an IMMENSE amount of criticism right now, but of all of the indictments against O this one might be the weakest. Setting aside the evolution of college football over two decades and the specific challenges of 2020, using average margin of victory or defeat as a measuring stick is fairly meaningless and sometimes falls apart under even the most basic of scrutiny.
We were within 1.1 points of leading the nation in average margin of victory in 2011.
We trailed Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State (by nearly 10 points) last year.
2020 LSU was better than 2011 LSU. 2020 LSU was light years ahead of the team that led the NCAA in average margin of victory in 2020.
With that said, this is still probably the worst position our football program has been in since Dinardo.
