One team, one. That's it.


4.3 YPA vs Wisconsin
1.2 YPA vs Alabama
4.9 YPA vs Florida
4.3 YPA vs Louisville

LSU ran up giant run totals vs bad run defenses (Jax St, Ole Miss, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas A&M) and was average to good vs good run D's and destroyed by Alabama.

I think LSU will be good next year, but every year it's the same thing with the OL.

Let him get it in. They all know Arkansas is yet again a perennial bottom feeder and will be firing Bert soon. The highlight of their football program the last 10 years was beating LSU twice in a row.

Again. We have a new OC. One that was nominated for the Broyles award last year as top Coordinator in the country... Being the only OC nominated for the award. He beat Clemson with Pitt talent

4 yards a carry isn't really that bad, dude.

You mean like in 2015?



I said at some point they'll have an 11-1 team that gets in. You think the Big XII will never have a team go 12-0 or 11-1 in a year with only 1-2 12-0/11-1 others?

LSU also missed out on a 12th game against a cupcake. One that every other SEC team had

That's great but saying you have no weak points is hilarious. I expect no different from you though. Keep grinding on.

LSU?


LSU was markedly improved after they fired their previous coach. I think they're going to be much better on offense than they have been.

Won't matter, you'll still be a middle of the road SEC team.

Head coach is trash.

LSU was 4th in the SEC in YPA rushing vs ranked teams. They aren't bad against them, but they certainly aren't elite.

Like I said, they annihilate teams that can't tackle and rack up insane yardage totals, and against competent defenses they are average to good. And against Alabama they have no chance.

The irony is strong

Although for some posters that might be the case

How would that change their performance against good teams at all?

More rush yards against South Alabama just enhances my point.

You conveniently left out rushing totals as well. Guice had 150 vs Louisville iirc.

Just admit you were wrong. The OL was above average in nearly every game not vs Alabama. That's what I said in response to you.

Feel free to check other relevant metrics.

"Above average" was not the claim I was refuting. "Great" was exact quote. "The OL will be great".

Who cares about totals? YPA is what matters.

Find one other game in which the LSU OL was manhandled and provide statistics.

You quite literally said "manhandled". Do you suffer from amnesia?
