I think it's helped lsu that most of these games were very early in the season.
Usually the HUNH teams really hit their stride later in the year
LSU is good at forcing turnovers versus HUNH teams; however, I wouldn't call yielding 400-500+ yards shutting a team down even if you limited their scoring somehow.
2011 Oregon was not Chip Kelly's best offense or defense, for that matter.
Both quarterbacks had a bad day in the 2012 Texas A&M versus LSU game.
2013 Auburn hadn't hit its stride entering the LSU game.
2011 is an outlier for the LSU program, i.e. an unreasonable standard or representative for the LSU program, Les Miles' average team, Chavis' typical defense, etc.
What kind of offense does Clemson run?
Furthermore, the OOC results may be impressive, but unless Alabama played the same team, I fail to see how you can make a valid comparison or a strong argument?
We don't know how 2011 Alabama would have fared versus Oregon and West Virginia.
At worst, 2010 Alabama did an equal job to LSU defensively. LSU lost to Arkansas that year while Alabama found a way to defeat them.
I could go on and on. Chavis deserves some credit and respect, but not as much as you've requested.

qbs having a bad day can usually be attributed to the defense.

If you don't think LSU doesn't have a great D every year under Chavis idk what to tell you. The numbers/results easily prove otherwise.

They finished with only 1 or 2 losses, won their Conference and a BCS Bowl Game. Which of their teams were better? They would've played for a National Title had they not taken that game in Dallas to start the year (Props to Kelly for not backing down).

This sounds like excuses...I know because they normally sound like the auditory equivalent of watching someone reach or overextend themselves to do something they're otherwise incapable of.

LSU wins >10 games far more often than Auburn does, Lil' Lady.

Please do. It's been a busy day at work and I could use the laughter.
