Could we have had a better offense? Certainly. Would we have had a better record? That's debatable

Are you saying that running into the back of the line over and over didn’t keep us from winning more games?

I'm saying there are a lot of teams we flat-out overpowered during those years, and we won by playing to our strength.
The Oregon game in 2011 is a prime example of this. We didn't try to get cute and fancy. We didn't use elaborate schemes (and their offensive one was "better"). We punched them in the face repeatedly, and won because they couldn't handle it.
Look at 2008; we lost some games that year due to an average defense, and mistakes made by the QB. Then we played Ga Tech in a bowl. They'd beat UGA earlier that year, and were supposed to beat us. We ran OT toss-dive all game. Announcers spent part of the first half hyping Ga Tech's triple option etc, until about the 10th time we ran that play and one finally said basically "and you know, if Ga Tech can't stop that run, none of this talk is going to matter, because LSU is going to kill them".
They could never stop that play, and we never stopped calling it. We were up 35-3 at the half.

Go watch the Alabama-Clemson game in 2018. Big Clemson win.
Alabama looks like they're running on them well, and if they would stay on that and forget the pass, they would eventually grind Clemson down. I honestly believe that's a game a Les Miles strategy would have won for the Tide.

Point is, people always go back and say "if we'd have played this way, we could have won more games". True, you might have won one you lost. You also might have lost one you won.
