It’s depressing. It’s like watching two old people fail at sex.

What is red zone scoring and why would you leave it out?

But but but it’s rhe defense. Guarantee you the Chererios create a bunch of threads to bury this. They don’t have any arguments

1st in turnovers and 2nd in possession should = a very good offense.

Because kicking field goals is special teams, not offense. He has the offense's red zone stat up there. It's under "ugly".

the facts are clear. It had been 1.5 months since they had completed a TD pass... that is remarkable

SE is extremely conservative and he will not change. His mentality is just like Miles who got fired for the same reason.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather watch that than this LSU offense.

None of that matters. We are 8 and 2. Headed to 10 and 2. When most everyone had us 7 and 5 or 6 and 6.

We will work on style points later. Worst case we are third place in the overall SEC. we beat everyone’s darling Georgia 36 to 16. Yep we lost to Bama.

No one, I repeat, no one saw exceeding the lowered expectation being pushed as a narrative.

No.one.

Stats don't lie, we ain't coming with this kind of offense. We'll win games obviously 8-2, but to take the next step for instance, scoring against the gumps, we have a long ways to go. With more of a potent Offense and this above average defense we'd be in the CFP, no doubt. Look for us to fall behind WV this week.

Solid work! (On the post)..

In my opinion those statistics illustrate the youth and inexperience on LSU’s offensive line and WRs...

I’m not bashing the players...just stating where we are as a team....

I think it’s amazing, considering all this, that we have such a good record....and that is a reflection of GOOD coaching.....I think most fans see the results on the field and react with emotions instead of with a cool head and really examine what the numbers actually say....

The good we are ranked #7 and if we win out we will play in the Sugar Bowl. And that is the worst case scenario. We are 8 and 2. We have beaten a half dozen ranked team. We got our stats playing one of the hardest schedules in the country. Winning is all that matters.
