It’s amazing that people can’t seem to figure out that a quick strike, high scoring offense is going to have some negative impact on your defense.

If it weren't for the rant, I would never have known that you have to outscore an opponent to win a game!

Giving up 400 rushing yards, 212 of them via the QB, is merely a negative impact?

And where is Bama on this list? There is a bunch of people saying they deserve the 4th spot.

And a lot of those teams on that list who have they played?

This is a team sport and the outcome of the game is the score. Our offense is carrying our defense. Yes I agree with that. But in the end does it matter if we win out?

That was a niche offense we played last night. Will not face another one like it. Alabama had a top notch offense as well. Florida and Texas as well.

We are going to face top ranked offenses after the SECC game. Our defense will look bad at times. But I have faith in Joe and our offense to carry us through.

There once was a time when the script was flipped. When if we ever got behind we were done. I like the script we have now a lot better.

Correct, and they’ll (OSU and Clemson) have to do the same. I’m confident we can and will do it.

Total defense doesn't really tell a story. Buffalo and Missori, SDSU, UAB and Pitt aren't even close to even tasting the Top 25 ranking, but top 10 in total defense.

Because LSU scores so quickly, the other teams get more possessions, thus gaining more yards.

You would also have to take into account that the defense doesn't really need to put out so much effort with a cushion of a 2 possession lead.

This defense has only played behind on 3 possessions this year. That says something about LSU too

Let's not forget about the opponents LSU has been facing too. Facing better teams naturally means giving up more yards.
