Which past LSU team had best chance vs 2019

2011 but I doubt they could beat them. Thei only chance would be to create some turnovers and play keep away with the run game.

What rules? 2019 rules with targeting and illegal contact and illegal man down field tightening, or more early 2000 rules where you could absolutely pound quarterbacks and wide receivers?

If more defensive friendly rules, 2003 has the best defensive personnel and best overall coaching staff to try and put something together. They'd still be a heavy dog if I were trying to handicap it.

2006 is the 2nd best team of the modern (2000 onward) era.

Then probably 2011, 2007, 2003 in that order

2011 had the best chance but they’d lose. Joe Burrow was on a different level and nobody was going to beat him.

2011 is the only Defense that could keep them from scoring 28+

2011- That team would have a chance if Tyrann from the Arky and UGA games showed up. He singlehandedly won both of those games.

Best chance:
- '07 early season.
- '06 late in the season. JaMarcus throwing to Bowe, Buster, Early, and LaFell would have been a challenge.
- '11, STs were amazing and don't think Honey Badger wouldn't have made some plays.

2011 would have the best chance. 2011 had a ground and pound offense that would eat up clock and limit Burrow and 2019s chances. The 2011 defense was just down right nasty and May force a turnover or two. In the end I think 2019 wins but 2011 would keep it close.

y'all are sleeping on 2003.
It's probably the most talented group as far as NFL talent goes after 2019, and 2019's talent is mostly on the offensive side.

Addai
Clayton
Devery
Bowe
Whitworth
Wilkerson
Peterman
Marquise Hill
Lavalais
Kyle Williams
Spears
Webster
Daniels
Laron
and the best punter ever Donnie Jones


the 2006 and 2007 teams defense had a lot of guys who performed well in college, but many of them didn't do much of anything in the pros other than the dlineman, and the Oline of those teams didn't have any pro players.

2011 didn't have any Olineman make it to the NFL. Obviously littered with offensive talent outside of QB, as well as the defensive backfield, but the trenches weren't anywhere near what 2003 was.

Burrow is tough to beat, but if there's a defense that could have done it, it would have been 2003's, and they had the guys in the trenches to make that game a lot more physical than the finesse of the 2019 team would want. They were built to run the i b/c they had the guys up front to do it, and slowing the game down against Burrow is your best chance to beat him. I'll take Corey Webster on an island against Chase to hold his own, with Laron sneaking it to kill someone while Jack Hunt protects against the deep ball, all the while 4 gigantic Dlineman put pressure on the QB.
If 2011 had 2013 Mettenberger, he probably wins the Heisman, and they easily beat Alabama and complete the greatest season ever, better than 2019's b/c of all the top teams they beat along the way. I'd give the 2011 defense about the same chance to stop Burrow as the 2003 defense, maybe more of a chance, but their lack of an qb game late in the season gives them zero chance to beat 2019.
