re: LSU Total Offense Ranking - by year and OC

I couldn't find anything about red zone td rate. Would be interested to see how often we settle for fgs compared to other teams

Took some digging but here it is: Red Zone TD Efficiency ranking: (this site only goes back to 2009)

18: 129 Only Wyoming and Akron settling for a higher percentage of FGs on RZ scores than LSU.
17: 80
16: 55
15: 36
14: 85
13: 39
12: 102
11: 12

Dear God. Is this our worst overall offensive year in the past decade? Is it that bad? I knew we lacked in talent from prior years but the stats say there's more to it than just a talent deficiency.

It's bad. You can look at an individual stat and see where each OC we've had has done better than we thought. Maybe Cameron wasn't as terrible as we thought some years by some metrics, or maybe Canada was worse than we thought last year by some metrics. I think it's pretty clear LSU has lived and died by its running game for over a decade (save 13 with Mett). The numbers back that up pretty consistently especially in 15 and 16 when statistically, LSU was pretty strong by our standards.

And I think it's also pretty clear that this year with Ensminger, we are worse off in just about every major and more specific offensive rankings by pretty significant margins.

But the on

Eniminger is doing something he really doesn't want to do...OC

So in most categories Orgeron is worse than Miles.
And this offense is much worse than Canada’s.

Seems the HC is out of his element.

Not one of them had the schedule we have had this year.

Am I doing this correctly?

Great thread. It just proves that when you don’t run you multi million dollar business as such you wind up broke. Lack of hard work and determination at the top AD then HC in their hiring practices have landed us here. The AD needs to be fired strictly on lack of performance by his biggest hire.

This is a great thread.

Any way you look at it, this offense is a disaster.

I’d wonder where each offense ranked in points per game
