LMAO, you would take almost every LSU offense unit over Bama's. QB-LSU, RB-Push, WR-LSU, OL-LSU (LSUs won OL award). Stop it.

I'll also die on this hill that Bama's and anyone's 2020 stats are MEANINGLESS as far as comparing to other normal years.
That was the COVID year were on a weekly basis teams were short players either due to Covid or just contact tracing quarantines, having 2s start and 3s be first backups. That was the year LSU played Arkansas and it was a game b/t 58 and 56 scholarship players (out of 85!), and you had to 53 to even play the game, and again, this was happening weekly all over the country. Bama having Jones, Harris, and smith healthy was all it took to eat against depleted teams every week. And according to Saban that year mid-season in an interview, they had no COVID issues, again furthering their advantage. Yes, they'd have beat them anyways, but they beat them WORSE due to this. Bama's 2020 stats are overblown massively b/c of the quality of teams, players, depth they were facing weekly.

Bama’s stats for that year are super inflated - empty stadiums, no spring training and the fact they were the only school without a positive test.

Good team, but also the product of a really goofy season
