LSU had never even been good enough to make a playoff game until this year. The fact that you are high-fiving him over that "zinger" is good comedy.

re: Looks like LSU got a big W in the video production department against OU

Because that's who we're sponsored by.
Our video department is usually pretty good. This wasn't their best work.
If Baker or Kyler were at QB, nobody in the country would be able to guard Lamb. Even in the NFL, he probably would have gone for close to 1,000 yards this year. It doesn't matter where Ceedee lines up. The only way to stop him is to keep Hurts from delivering a catchable ball, and that's definitely possible.
Rambo, Haselwood, and Wease will all go in the first 3 rounds eventually (probably top 2). You will see this next year when we bring back our typical offense. If you truly have a weak DB (which I doubt), we have the talent to expose it. It's just a matter of getting the ball to them.

re: To the OU lurkers on the Rant, what are your predictions?
Posted by NYSooner on 12/27/19 at 1:36 pm to texastigerr
We expected to beat Clemson in our first appearance. We expected to beat UGA two years ago (and should have). We did NOT expect to beat Alabama last year. Our expectations this year are somewhere between Georgia and Alabama, with a definite lean toward last year.
If we beat LSU tomorrow, we'll only be slightly less surprised than the rest of the country. If we had last year's offense (or the year before that), we'd like our chances. We don't. Hurts is not that guy.

Almost identical size to Quinnen Williams. Gallimore, Perkins, and Murray are NFL guys.

The only game tougher than the first game of CFP is the second one.

I have no doubt that OU’s defense is better than they have been but do they really think their defense is better than Auburn, Florida, or Georgia’s?
No, not really.
Better than everybody but Clemson, LSU, OSU.

That's why I called the defense average, which you took offense to.
I didn't take offense -- simply disagreed. Your own statistic has them as #34, which is certainly not average.
quote:
This season they are a more balanced team, but the offense is still responsible for a disproportionately large amount of your success.
I don't agree with this, either. Our offense is putting up better overall numbers, but our defense has won us more individual games than our offense. ISU is the only game you could make a case for the offense winning it, but the offense only put up 7 points in the entire second half. TCU, Baylor, and Texas were all defensive-dominant games.
quote:
I mean if you are including all schools - sure. But that's not really the point as most Group of 5 programs can't even begin to compete.
To put things into perspective, Oklahoma ranks 34th this year in Defensive S&P. LSU has already played 5 teams ranked higher than that. The closest is A&M at 26 and we put 50 on them.
Oklahoma ranks 4th in Offensive S&P (LSU is 1st), which is insane because this is a "down year" for the offense.
The Sooners are still very much an offensive-minded team.
Sure, LSU's offense is much better than OU's defense. Nobody is arguing that.
Agree with most of this. Except the part where you seemed to imply that Hurts was even close to the same caliber as Lamb. Lamb and Humphrey are above average OU players based on the standard of OU offense for the past several years, but we're significantly below our average at just about every other position. This is not your typical unstoppable OU offense.
Also, it's an exaggeration to call this defense average. It's below average for a CFP team, but certainly above average relative to the rest of the country. Unfortunately we only have about 3 players that undoubtedly belong on a CFP defense, and one of those was Ronnie Perkins.

Can't blame him. The pay was better.

Seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest we are the best. Funny, one thing I seem to notice in all these fan base rankings is that OU is nowhere near the top in any of them.
First off, OU was top 10 in every link you posted. Did you even read what you linked?
Second, if you read the descriptions you would see that by "best fanbase," they mean hostile environment where it's hard for visiting teams to win. I never claimed it was easy to go into the swamp and win. Nowhere in those first three links did it mention anything about being pleasant fans to interact with.

False.

This is such a rampant and weird statement from the OU fanbase. I've been to a dozen Texas/OU games and Friday nights in downtown Dallas leading up to those games. The first couple years I was neutral because LSU was all I cared about. My neutrality quickly wore off because the OU fan base was the WORST I had ever seen, by far. Hook em'
I've been to dozens of LSU games and brought visiting fans. Not a single complaint by any. The general statement after "best gameday experience ever". That's known far and wide in the college football landscape - not just something LSU fans exaggerate or make up.
Keep banding together to create an LSU fan base narrative that is very clearly inaccurate and, turns out, is a reflection of your fan base. Most of all, enjoy this arse whoopin on 12/28.
I can understand not thinking you have the most obnoxious fanbase in the country, but to state that interacting with your fanbase is "the best gameday experience ever" is beyond words. I googled "most obnoxious fanbase" and guess who popped up:

That's just one person's opinion, so I looked for one that was a poll. First one:

So no, it's not just OU fans that find your fanbase obnoxious, and you're certainly not regarded as "the best ever."
Also, the fact that you side with Texas reveals a lot about you.
Lastly, the most pleasant fanbase to interact with is Nebraska.

Muskogee is unpleasant, but Duncan has had a string of some of the most bizarre murders. A college student murdered his whole family a few years ago to try to collect life insurance (fyi that is not how life insurance works, even if not caught). Another guy was randomly murdered in the street a year or two before "because they wondered what it would feel like." I'm now hearing there was a triple murder at Walmart last month.

Ok, red dirt for brains. Why does ou base their rallying cry off a term for cheating? We’re all those championships won by cheating? Honestly would like to know, I worked at ou and no one could ever answer that question.
Oklahoma is/was known as the Sooner State, so the state's university named their sports teams the Sooners. Pretty simple, really. You seem aware of the history of the term, so I won't spend time explaining that. I'm not sure why nobody was ever able to explain this to you.
Why is your team named after an animal? And why the exact same animal as Clemson, Auburn, Missouri, Memphis, and probably several other programs?

There aren't 6 (or 8), but 3 are potentially being suspended, and they're big.

The 2017 Missouri team that "shredded SEC defenses" only won one SEC game against an opponent with a winning record. They scored less than 30 against both ranked teams they played.
The 4 games you mentioned were against teams with a combined 17-30 record. Arkansas and Vanderbilt are perennial bottom rung SEC teams. Tennessee hasn't been relevant in a decade, and that Florida team was 1 of the 2 worst teams they've had in the past 40 years.
They aren't exactly prime examples of good SEC defenses.
They averaged 41.7 points per game over their final 6 conference games. That's almost half the conference, so you can't really make the argument those are uncharacteristically bad teams, unless you're saying the SEC is top-heavy.
Also, a 6-6 Texas team missing several of their top starters held them to 16 points in their bowl game.
LSU has very good WRs. Maybe the best in the country. But none are better than Ceedee.
