Good fricking god!!!

Sure, we may go I. The road and get beat by Bama. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t an absolutely great offense.

It isn’t fool’s gold. We’ve moved the ball on every single team we’ve played this year.

Because most good offenses only have 1 true legit WR. Some have none.

We have 2 clear guys who would be WR1 on all but a small handful of teams. And we have a freak TE who could go off in any game if the defense take 8 and 11 away.

And we saw last game what 2 could do when he catches the ball.

So we need to have 3 NFL receivers to have a good offense? How often does that happen for any college team?

Malik Nabors and Brian Thomas Jr are great, but everyone else has been pretty meh.

Well, when your top 2 WRs lead the nation in yards and TDs, you're not as concerned about your other WRs because your top 2 are obviously dominating. And LSU also has an excellent tight end in Taylor who is a huge mismatch problem (and plays like another WR).

I’m not saying we need that to be good. I’m saying we could be impossible to defend and practically unbeatable if we had that.

2019 had 3 great wideouts.

2006 had 3 great wideouts, but the QB, OL, and RB positions weren’t as good as what we have now.

This offense has beaten up on a lot of lousy defenses.


Mizzou would be a top 25 defense in YPG Allowed if they hadn’t played LSU. We added 30 ypg to their average. Arkansas would be in the top 30 if they hadn’t played LSU. Auburn would be as well. It’s not a perfect representation but you get the gist.

Currently these teams give up around 350 YPG and LSU puts up at 550 per game. The offense is legit.

We are already as impossible to defend as any offense in the country.

The one game that we were held in check wasn’t as much due to FSU being so great as it was dropped passes and terrible decisions/play calling in the red zone.

The only team to really slow down this offense so far has been this offense. And it only happened in game 1.

You absolutely haven’t watched much football if you don’t think this offense is the 2nd best offense we’ve ever had at LSU. Not only is it legit but it’s going to be legendary, just like 2019.

Imo this just shows how dominant and how great LSU can be with a good roster. Imagine if the defensive recruits start showing up!!!

All of what you're saying is complete frickING NONSENSE!

You can't name a #3 WR on any fricking top offense in the country and you're talking this dumb shite. LSU's #3 WR has 280 and 3 TDs 7 games in. For reference the #3 in 2019 had 671 yards in 12 games played.

You can't name another offense that's played a tougher schedule defensively and still putting up top numbers in raw numbers and efficiency numbers.

If 7, might as well say 8 because Army is meh, games in you can't tell if an offense is elite, you might be slow. If you cant tell if a team is good that still has a elite offensive numbers after playing multiple top 25 defenses when you take their stats out vs them, you might just be a giant clown.


I don't know what it is with you people every week that are "unsure of the offense". You can see offenses in the Pac and Big 12 play zero defenses all year and claim their are elite and you have zero problems, but playing 5 SEC games, and a top 10 OOC game, and still putting up the best offensive numbers by EVERY SINGLE METRIC IN THE COUNTRY, still has you doubting? You might just be a total dumbass.

You're either dumb or hating, pick one.

Reserve your judgment all you want. It’s doubtful anyone on this board cares. You obviously know dick about this team and sound soft.
