Early in the season when the teams haven't play many or any common opponents, a statistical comparison can be deceiving. Nevertheless, I offer the following comparison for you to do with what you will:

(I will do offense tomorrow)

Scoring Defense:
AU v. FBS Opponents 16.3 ppg
LSU v. FBS Oponents 16.3 ppg

AU v. Power 5 Opponents 17.5 ppg
LSU v. Power 5 Opponents 29.0 ppg

Rushing Defense:
AU v. FBS 90.75 ypg
LSU v. FBS 189.5 ypg

AU v. Power 5 96.5 ypg
LSU v. Power 5 285 ypg

Passing Defense:
AU v. FBS 222.5 ypg 6.4 ypa 3 TDs 7 Ints. Efficiency Rating (lower is better) 109.9
LSU v. FBS 124.2 ypg 4.5 ypa 2 TDs 4 Ints. Eff. Rating 85.9

AU v. Power 5 210 ypg 5.9 ypa 2 TDs 3 Ints. Eff. Rating 109.7
LSU v. Power 5 159 ypg 6.6 ypa 2 TDs 2 Ints. Eff. Rating 108.99

Total Defense:
AU v. FBS 4.56 ypp 313.3 ypg

LSU no longer needs third downs, don't you #Harris, bro?

Not sure, but the SOS is also misleading this early in the season. I tried to account for that by eliminating games against FCS opponents and breaking out stats v. FBS opponents (each team has played 4) and Power 5 opponents (each team has played 2).

Using stats to present an argument is cool and shite, but the results will play out on the field this Saturday. Every week is a different week. LSU will be ready!

I would not be shocked if this was a low scoring game.

LSU also hasn't played a true road game yet... but probably Wisconsin/msu > arkansas/k-state.

I'll give them MSU, but not Wisconsin. AU has the better win there.

Holding on to that K-State "win" with white knuckles.

If I were to subjectively rank those 4 offenses it would be:

MSU
Arky
Wisconsin
KSU

Thus, I would concede that LSU has faced the slightly more difficult Power 5 offenses as compared to Auburn.

What's so "funny"?

You seem pretty dense.

This is the main reason most intelligent LSU fans are concerned about Auburn, Bama and Arky. The run defense has been an abortion this year.

Welter is bad, Beckwith is not.

DT's as well. AU could probably win without throwing a pass, providing they don't fumble a few times. LSU is as soft on defense as I've seen since 2008.
