Some of you have deluded yourselves about our offense

We have played against some of the weakest defenses in the country. And close to the mid-point in the season, most every team from here on out is ranked MUCH better than what we have played.

And if they can shut parts of our offense down, then we wont be able to keep up with what our defense will allow

Arky - 46th in total D/ 68th in ppg
Moo - 84th in total D/ 100th in ppg
FSU - 95th in total D/ 48th in ppg
Ole Miss - 103rd in total D/ 66th in ppg


Coming our way very soon:

A&M - 5th total D/ 32nd in ppg
UF - 13th total D/ 25th in ppg
Bama - 20th in total D/ 17th in ppg
Mizzou - 29th in total D/ 40th in ppg
Army - 31st in total D/ 33rd in ppg
Aub - 34th in total D/ 27th in ppg


By comparison LSU is 113th in total D/ 89th in ppg. These teams will score LOTS of points against us. We give up 36 points a game against D1 opponents, while only scoring 37. Against very bad defenses so far

How many of those defenses are ranked where they are because they played LSU already?

It’s about to get ugly. Buckle up. Not saying our offense won’t score but to act like our offense is going to perform like it did last week every week is delusional.

I mean I agree with you. Offense is good, not quite great. And definitely not elite.

I still give them credit

And believe it or not I don’t think we’ll give up 700+ yards every single week, either.

Offense is not the problem.

Did you consider that the 4 teams we’ve played have a lower ranked D bc they already played us?

A&M, Florida, Bama, etc defenses will drop in the rankings after we put up 40 pts & 500 yds on them too

Id normally agree with you but the throws Jayden is making right now that if given time to make them are unguardable at least by majority of college football teams. If the oline can hold up i see no reason this offense cant score 30 plus points on anyone they play. Problem is with this defense we will need 50 and that may not be enough.

so you're saying our offense sucks and isn't one of the best in the country?

Does it matter? All team stats include rent a wins at this point. Including Grambling

The teams we have played have given up yards and points in droves to the rent a wins on theor schedule, too

The ones we will play, obviously didnt

This team is way too unbalanced offensively and defensively to hope for any championship. Might as well as just sit back and enjoy the ride however it plays out.

I's saying we look good only because the defenses sucked. Arky played us to a stand still, and they are the highest ranked D so far. And they arent even in the top half of the nation in ppg

LSU will still finish as a top 10-15 offense

We have 175 pass attempts and 180 rushing attempts. Where do you people come from?

What’s your point? Those other schools played more warm up squads than we have. We have a good offense, it’s obvious if you look and are willing to admit that there’s progress there. Jayden has evolved at QB, there’s no doubt. None of that matters if this shitty D can’t find a stop.

There’s no sense in bashing this offense.

Go remove the LSU stats from these defenses and let us know if they’re ranking stays the same.

Its a poorly disguised attempt at saying Jaden isn't as good as he is

The one good offense they played hung 50 on them and averaged 8.4 yards per play.
