The D has been very good.
That 2011 D had more depth and high quality talent. Also back then the avg offense probably only scored 20-24 points vs now most decent teams are closer to 30. If I remember correctly at the Bama 9-6 game that had 42 draft picks with 21 each for LsU/Bama. That’s a very high bar.

No. That offense could run the ball and they were physical so thst as the game went on the offense was able to get going.

This offense has nothing it can hang its hat on so far

Lee was playing way better than Nuss to start the season.

2011 was top 25 in offensive production with Lee at the helm, up until the title game.

Right now we are 94 in total offense, 116 in rushing offense, 111 in redzone offense, 106 in yards per completion, and +100 in PPG.


still waiting on OP drooby and tigermonkey to come eat crow with their dumbass hot takes.

What were 2011 sheer offense rankings, after accounting for defense TDs, special Team TDs, and field position advantage after turnovers?


Yes the 2011 team had a lot of short fields because of the defense and special teams. The point is they scored when given those opportunities. This Florida game where they got 5 picks was the type of game the 2011 team scores 40-50 points in.

You didn’t really watch the 2011 games did you? Until JJ returned from his suspension, and Les benched Jarrett Lee, the offense was scoring a LOT of points. And we weren’t playing the directional schools like LaTech on an equal basis, we curbed stomped them
