2011 vs. 2019 - Stat look

Yesterday's game reminded me of sitting in the stadium in 2011 for a first half dismantling of Auburn. I thought it would be iteresting to look at what are probably the two most dominant LSU teams ever.
Turnover Margin
2011 - +20 (insane number)
2019 - +6
Total Offense
2011 - 5.71 yds/play
2019 - 7.90 yds/play (whoa)
Total Defense
2011 - 4.08 yds/play (crazy)
2019 - 5.11 yds/play
Redzone scoring
2011 - 93.44%
2019 - 96.72%
Opponent 3rd Down
2011 - 33.97% (good)
2019 - 30.68% (very good)
LSU Third Down
2011 - 44.71% (good)
2019 - 50.00% (incredible)
These are the stats that consistently lead to winning. 2011 was a team that was built heavily on turnovers and tackles for loss and creating havoc on the defensive side of the ball. 2019's offense is remarkably better than 2011 and has an amazing redzone and 3rd down offense.
I do find it interesting that if we are talking yds/play 2019 is much better overall and also has a better third down and redzone defense.

Are you sure? This doesn’t seem right.

Thats the numbers according to CFB stats. Suprised me as well. This defense is good when they can pin their ears back on third down.

I feel like we make a lot of third down stops, but teams sustain drives by going for it on fourth and short a lot because they are down by so much. 
Maybe I’m wrong, but it feels that way to me.

Maybe we’ve done better than we think on 3rd down because of the countless 3rd and Longs we always seemed to give up for a stretch of the season.

Agreed. As good as the 2011 team was, without a legit possession offense (mostly lies on the QB but even Jefferson/Lee could have sufficed if Les wasn't dragging them down) they were ALWAYS one game away from someone really hitting them in the mouth and being exposed for lacking a legit offense that could keep a game together when the defense and special teams weren't going to make huge plays.
Of course, no one except for Bama on round 2 had the firepower to hit them in the mouth, but it is what it is

2019 smokes the 2011 team with Jefferson at QB

Still just that one damn Auburn possession?

Lee and Jefferson were not good QBs, don’t know what you are remembering?. That team is winning by 70 with Flynn, Russell, Mett, Mauck etc, not to mention the GOAT Burrow

59/61 - So there are two possessions in there. I can't remember the 2nd one but we have a 77% TD percentage which is also a crazy stat.

That turnover margin had to be some kind of record. Thanks Tyrann Mathieu.

One of course was against Auburn. I believe the other redzone "misfire" was against Ole Miss, taking a knee to end the game.

This makes sense. That Auburn possession was the only true falter.

This LSU offense would put up 45 points vs the Bama 2011 defense. Without a doubt.

That's sorta unfair to that defense. As weird as it is to say considering it was only 8 years ago, that was a different era of ball. They were fricking loaded, but had very big linebackers. 45 is being generous to their defense. We could line up 5 wide and have clyde on a LBer and chunk them for 10-15 all damn day. The only shot they would have would be to slow the game down with their offense, but even then they would eventually give the ball up.

Good point
Posted on 12/1/19 at 11:08 pm to chucknorris89
Don’t forget to talk about our schedule in 2011 and the multitude of ranked teams we faced and destroyed them all. But in 2019, we beat 4 top ten teams in the regular season, a feat that’s tough to find when was the last team to do it
