I saw several stat lines showing LSU between 50th and 105th....but Louisiana Tech had #1 for overall offense in several of them, so better take that with a grain of salt.

Huh? I Have no idea where you are getting that number, but it is incorrect.

LSU is #53 in total offense (yards per game)

LSU is #61 in points per game.

You got bad stats or are reading them wrong.

We're #53 in total offense and #61 in points per game.

Somehow I find that statement rather suspect. LSU has amassed 634, 459 and 515 yards in its last 3 games, as well as 125 points.

That looks like a pretty good offense. If only 13 teams have worse offenses than LSU, then does anyone actually play defense anymore?

I hope so. I heard the guy on ESPN this morning saying they are favored by 10 and will be favored by double digits the rest of the season. I want them to take LSU lightly and think that this game will be another romp fest for Alabama.
