Thank you LSU Defense

Go away.

If defense wasn't so bad, offense would not have been wide open every game.

bullshite. We would have just beat everyone by 21-28 points like we did in 2019.

That's an interesting take but I'm taking another route.

On the season lost the Time of Possession battle by 26 minutes. Yes, that includes Grambling, Georgia State, Army and we crushed Miss State in top.

Our Defense was horribly bad.

If I was Jayden, I'd start with "If our defense could stop someone, I would've had 2000 yards rushing and 100 passing TDs."

Time of Possession by game.

Dumb post is dumb. They would’ve won a national championship if the defense was in the top 50.

Dumb

There is a valid point in there somewhere but mostly it’s just taking a swipe at both the defensive squad and JD5. It’s just as likely the offense would have been just as dynamic if we weren’t having to score. At one period we were 13 TDs out of 15 possessions. In a couple of games we scored a TD on every possession. And in those games we didn’t need to score every time to win.

The only good thing is that we are bad but can be good if forced to be. Nah.

I’ve seen some bad takes. This is Oweo level

Explosive plays would have a negative impact on TOP. See FLA for example. Plus Georgia State, Army. The explosiveness of the offense also meant that the possessions were like 3 minutes or less to score.

When opponents score in 3 seconds instead of being slowed for long drives the offense gets more opportunities not less.

Except that didn’t happen very much. Most times it was a time consuming drive where we gave up multiple 3rd and longs to continue drives.
