Defense was the issue because of losing several players to the NFL. Usually at LSU the defense bails out the offense but i remember many times last year thinking that it was a year when the offense bailed out the defense. So for all the idiots looking at the LSU studs in the NFL this year and wondering why we didnt win more with them here - it was our defense (and a couple of other bad plays).

The 2013 LSU offense was one of, if not THE BEST we have ever had here and the first time in history LSU had a QB who passed for more than 3000 yds, an RB who rushed for more than 1000 yds, and 2 Receivers who caught for more than 1000 yds each.

No one is saying that we are content with our shitty offense this year - it's just that - Shitty. You are missing the point. The post is in response to folks in the Media and fans of other teams constantly saying "How did LSU not win a Natty with all those studs?"

This year's offense was historic too! Just in the opposite direction.

This is a historic accomplishment. It didn't make for a historically great O. There is a difference. It cost us the Ole Miss game and didn't help against Bama. It was certainly very good and coupled with a typical great D would have likely won a championship.

So glad we finished 6th in the SEC in scoring. Truly historic.

Then I'm lost, because you seem to be agreeing with them.

Aside from last year, Les has hasn't had the greatest offenses. He believes in pounding the ball, control the clock, limit mistakes, and play tremendous special teams and defense. I do think a consistent and effective passing game would do wonders for him. Hopefully he starts being a little more aggressive. I do think his conservative mindset and stubbornness has hurt us at times. Instead of attacking and playing against an opponents weakness, we play into their hands and make things more difficult. Personally, Les just needs to let Cam run his show as he lets Chavis run his. Work with O line and special teams, then I think we can win another title or two. He has the players, I think its time he lets the coaches do their jobs

Historic was good enough for 3rd in the SECW and a win in the Outback Bowl.

Look our offense doesn't have to be historic or the 99 Vikings, but we need to score when we need a score, get first downs for our defense and to put games away. We have to keep up with Auburn on the scoreboard and keep away from Bamas offense. We have to execute and put the right players who can actually execute, not the all-practice super friends players.

Once again.... Playing the blame game for the 2013 season is fricking stupid.

UGA - Game is tied. D finally gets a stop and forced a punt. OBJ muffs the punt. UGA gets possession on the 20yard line and scores.

Ole Miss - Mett has 3 1st half INTs. Hill fumbles but recovers it, yet Miles still benched him.

Alabama - We drive the ball down their throats, just to have JC Copeland fumble on the 1yard line. Next possession, Mett fumbles the snap.

And the defense finished 21st in the nation in scoring, and 15th in yards per game. People act like our D was the worst in the country. No, they weren't as dominate as we have been recently, but they were not horrible by any means and were actually ranked well above average by the time the season ended.

And blaming 1 side for why we lost or saying 1 side was the issue is just stupid. Game changing mistakes happened / will happen on both sides of the ball. And those studs we had on offense made ther fair share of mistakes, same with out D.

Aren't you the same son of a bitch who started that thread about OBJ's hair style?

aTm scored 42 points against Bama, Auburn scored 34 points on them and the Big 12 Princess (OU) scored 45 on them. We scored 17. Their offenses must've been super-duper historic.

We scored 17 on UF. Georgia Southern scored 26 on them with zero passing yards for the game.

We scored 24 on Ole Miss. Vandy scored 35 on them.

We needed AJ to win the Arkansas game at home.

Our offense was great at times last year (UGA, State, aTm, etc.) and not very good at other times.

That's hilariously arbitrary evidence of anything.

3000 yards passing is quite pedestrian in today's college game, and when only two of our receivers caught 2/3rds of that we just might have a good indication of a lack of complexity, imagination, and involvement by other players.

It's like the pumper narrative has become that the 2013 offense was the GOAT and the defense was terrible.

The offense was good compared to LSU standards and those 4 players put up some impressive numbers.

Where did the O rank in conference? Where did the D rank in conference?
