Only 2pts scored by the defense entire season, zero defensive TDs.

There's no way we can win with that kind of defense!!!!!!


!111!!!!!!!

Well, the offense more than made up for this. It was an "unusual" year for the LSU defense in that regard and others, but what mattered most is that they did not fail to deliver when it mattered AND they peaked at the right time. This was a very, very good defense.

Safeties are rare, so that was enough for me lol

Are we not counting points off turnovers?

I don't think even they were ever a factor, were they? Would you count Alabama - did that game hinge on points off turnovers?

Prior to 2019, I would have said that with a LSU offense, a little luck with a pick-6 or something would be needed to win a big game. But with this offense, it was never even needed. They didn't even need kickoff returns. I bring it up because I think it makes the accomplishments of this offense that much more impressive.

Yeah. The Tua fumble leading to a Chase TD and the Queen INT leading to the CEH TD catch.

If i think about all the INTs or fumble recoveries we did have only Stingley's int against UGa( the 2nd one) was only one i could see possibly returned for TD based on how it was picked and running start. The rest of our INTs in fumble recoveries were in our endzone or close to it. making most of them have to be close to 90 yard returns

Imagine how many games we could have won this year had the defense scored more

Well.... you could say that gave Joe Burrow more opportunities to pad his stats since the defense didn't do the scoring for him....

Fire Aran...wait NM.
