What is up with everyone wanting higher stat lines, like that is the end all. Look at Iowa's schedule compared to ours and the defenses they played. How can so many people think that a team that is ranked 80th vs 100th really means anything when those rankings don't take schedule into account and just go off pure stat averages?

Not sure what game you were watching. We won TOP. Were 50% on 3rd down. Chavis gave up 14 points at the end of the halves. That loss was on him.

LSU will not beat Bama until Saban is gone.

All I want is a viable modern passing attack. That's all.
I'm not asking for the 2002 Miami Hurricanes or the 2018 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Just give me Iowa's offense: 65th in the country at ~235 yards a game.
That's all I'm asking for. Seriously. That's all.



Give me the $1.6 billion Power Ball, that's all I'm asking for. And I'll buy Nick Saban, and open a purple and gold corndog stand every in every part of Tuscaloosa.

Are you confusing Les with Chavis?


Yeah, the ole "Third and Chavis" gifted Alabama with a couple of games that LSU was fixing to win.

“I know with certainty”

I don’t know if I will be alive in the next five minutes with certainty, but I know that if LSU continues to have the same offensive performance as it has in the last 8 quarters this team has been directed by Coach O coach E we will have no chance of beating Bama next year or the year after that.

That’s not me hating on a anyone . That’s simply me looking objectively at what I have recently seen from this O staff.

The Chavis that bailed les out over and over and over? You expected it to happen every big game? Lol. U did understand what les strategy was right? Remember crowton confirming it?

No the les miles who had a qb who had thrown for 300 yards and instead of trusting that qb to throw it one last time to get s first and run out clock ran it three ducking times into a stacked box. The game
Was lost by his coaching.

The "average team" gains about 50 more yards per game passing than LSU since 2010.

Seriously. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Look at how many teams are in college football. Divide that number by 2. Look at the team in that position's corresponding passing statistics.

LSU has gained 43.93 yards fewer per game than that mythical 'average' team since 2010.

That's including 2013.

This has been a lingering deficiency for years that has cost LSU a number of games, yet you wonder why people are pointing at it? Are you kidding me?

See post above. Chavis did not get much offensive support many games. He can’t stop everybody all the time. Les could have ended it with the offense. He didn’t. Expecting the d tonsave your arse all the time is a bad strategy.

Talking about a specific game. And all of 2013.

This is true but Alabama football looks completely different then it did when Les Miles was coaching. The defense is still stifling but now they have an offense has evolved into a high powered scoring machine. They are wide open and can put points on the board in a hurry. No way the outcome is any different with Les at the helm.

WRONG. And you can’t deny wtf I just laid out either proving It. You’d blame Chavis if we lost 6-3. Omg Chavis let them
Get the FG late to win it. Smh.

I've seen O do a much better job handling the game than Miles.

What year was it we lost to a ole miss team with their entire starting def line out!!

2013? Why? Because we let Mett throw 3 fling interceptions instead of just running it down their throats....

This! Saban feared Miles, he doesn't fear Orgeron.
