Landry and OBJ? 71% and 73% of their career catches have been TDs or first downs.


Cooper and Norwood? 86% and 93% of their career catches have been first downs.

Norwood had six catches all go for either a first or TD against Tenn, so that gives him 66 career catches, 62 of which have moved the chains or scored. 94%.



why are we using career catches instead of the current season?

The LSU WRs vs Bama DBs is a matchup heavily in LSUs favor

Maybe against the CB that isn't Belue.


Deion has had a good season, and while he'll definitely get beat by either WR a few times, he should hold his own.


I can do this season, if you want. Interestingly enough I fricked up on his 2012 numbers when doing career, was off about about four catches it seems.

Kevin Norwood LINK

19 first downs, 3 TDs on 23 catches.

22/23=95.6% 96% rounded up


Amari Cooper LINK

13 first downs, 2 TDs on 20 catches

15/20=75%

Cooper has been gimped all year, but still.


Odell Beckham Jr. LINK


40 first downs. 8 TDs. 48 catches,

48/48=100%




Landry LINK

44 first downs, 8 TDs, 58 catches.

52/58=89.6%, 90%.



If you just go by this year, advantage goes to LSU's WRs in this category. Cooper has been gimped, but still he'd probably just be a couple of notches under Landry, so advantage probably LSU still.

LSU's offense had become more conservative and relies too heavily on 4-5 guys.

Bama will blanket Landry and OBJ, blitz Mett and shut down the run. The offense stopped developing and has become easier to defend. The passes that worked early in the year will not work vs Bama.
