The one game we got whooped in this year last weekend and we still had a +14 margin on 1st downs



Amazing we haven’t converted that to a better record when you can sustain drives like that and get other teams off the field at that rate. Unbelievable with Treydez our RZ efficiency has been that bad. What a waste… If he was available for the UK game we’d be in the playoff as of this week.

First downs, yards, etc., are to generate points.

LSU cannot generate points in the redzone. Therefore, these stats that do not result in points are meaningless, at least in context.

Period.

We are statistically one of the best mid teams of all time


Nice

Statistically LSU has a great defense and a great offense but it's really hard to trust either one

It's like when Ben Simmons was here and was putting up all these crazy stats all while being a total loser on the court

You'd think with a "genius" offensive coordinator LSU could figure out a hand full of set plays to run and score from time to time but guess not.

im guessing we must rank high in TOP...seems like the 2 go hand in hand. I would rather lead the country in under 2 minute scoring drives which naturally would also hurt our defensive stats. Just score more when in RZ would be nice.

This team makes zero sense statistically. We dominate the stat sheet in every category except points scored against good teams.

Here’s a play to run that might score points

THROW THE DAMN BALL TO #7

And if necessary, run it 4 times in a row.

Reminds me of that Chargers team a few years back that was #1 in the league in both total offense and defense but still missed the playoffs.

When you see all the statistics on this team, it tells us we should be undefeated beating the hell out of everyone.

All the analytics and stats love us, which is probably why Vegas is still so high on us.

A team that is supposed to be that good should figure it out eventually right? Hopefully we play to our potential over these next 2 weeks.

LSUs biggest issue last week was the 1-2 yard gains on 1st and 2nd down by Jones when they got inside the 35 yard line. Set them up for too many 3rd downs
4th Quarter

2nd Quarter

1st Quarter

Our RZ efficiency is killing us. So many stalled drives when it matters most.

Invest heavy in the Oline and get a RB like Dillon Jones that has break away speed, and this problem solves itself. When we get inside the 25, we need 3 yards a carry. When it’s 3rd and 2 or less, you need an oline that can get the push. Right now they’re either losing those or are being neutralized there.

The blueprint is out.

Just don’t give up the big play to the offense and then tighten up when it gets to the redzone or wait for leavitt to turn the ball over.

And as far as the defense goes teams just keep coming until they catch it slipping and then it seems the flood gates open.
