Wait so we didn’t move the ball when we needed to?

Also they weren’t that good.

28th total defense. 20th scoring

This isn’t some elite teams

Missouri, UGA and Kentucky scores more points than us.

Don't even think this. In 2015 we could just rush all over people except bama. They went stupid and went spread against arky when we hadn't done it all season. Then it was put he was fired, team didn't play well next two games. Then not fired, did well in bowl game.

The offense stunk in most games this season, not just 3.

We actually finished the season 7th in the SEC in scoring offense and 7th in scoring defense.

1. With game on the line the Tiger offense was legit. Need to improve on putting teams away on last drives and better play calling and execution in the RED zone. Could be a juggernaut in 2019. NEVER thought I would say this about an LSU offense but it's happening...…



If this was true we would have had 1 loss.

Yeah a 7 OT game where the score is 74-72 will do that.

7th ranked offense in the sec is not bad, but not great. Next season the offense can be great. Never expected to be able to say this about an LSU offense.

Outside of Bama game, they moved the ball when they absolutely needed to. Stats don’t measure that.


Then why did we lose 3 games?

This offense was dummy...........


In no way was this offense better than 2015.

2015 had
More points per game
More points per play
Better yards per game
Better yards per play
Better 3rd down conversion %
More 1st downs per game.
Higher passing yards per attempt.
Higher yards per completion

You think your untrained opinion outweighs those facts?
Youre pushing your bias into the light by saying 2018 offense was better than 2015.

2018 was definitely better than 2014. No argument there.

But there are stats for that and they weren’t good either. And besides why wouldn’t you count a game especially an important one? Aren’t the big games how you’re supposed to measure success? If we want to just beat up on bad teams and pat ourselves on the back shouldn’t we just join the sunbelt and call it a day? This defeatist attitude some of you have been brainwashed into taking is counter productive.
