"Is there a stat for oponnents average starting field position? It would be interesting to see.

What is our average starting field position?"

Many of the listed stats come from www.cfbstats.com. I did not see a stat for average field position there but the stat can be calculated. I used the unofficial drive charts on www.si.com and came up with the following:

LSU Average Field Position: LSU's 37.66 Yard Line
Opp Average Field Position: OPP's 25.71 Yard Line

So, LSU has averaged 12 yards better field position.

My numbers may be off but they should be close.

Ranking as to Win % (at least 5 years @ LSU)
1 Miles 0.79121
2 Saban 0.75000
3 McClendon 0.69212
4 Moore 0.67187

I'm not making any statements about Cholly Mac because I don't know enough, but I at least do know that schedules weren't littered with creampuff games back then.

That would actually be a start for the Positigers: to stop spouting generic win/loss %'s for Miles and instead focus on the games that actually matter. Go look at LSU's schedule in 1987 and compare that to now. No creampuffs AND LESS games.

***************************

I totally agree. LSU's schedule was significantly tougher then. The added games set up the lessening of the toughness of the schedule.

We will see how LSU does next year with the first game (I think first?) against Oregon. We are both losing players, but they should be harder than the directional schools in La.

There is an Alumni chapter in Richmond. I do not know of any other groups.
