With LSUs defense, just a little bit of offense could have won them multiple crystal footballs. It's always been the offenses that have lacked.
Agreed 100%. But, A&M doesn't have LSU's defense.
Last year, when LSU had a really good offense, LSU didn't have LSU's defense. Chavis was the DC and the defense sucked for most of the year. Gave up 44 points to Georgia while scoring 41. 38 points to Alabama. Still, he shut Sumlin down completely with JFF so Sumlin is enamored with him. Chavis NEEDS the players to be good and he won't have them at A&M for a while.
But, I do give you credit. Your "who was better?" argument is the best one offered. Thanks for actually engaging.

quote:
When Kevin Sumlin took over the A&M program after a heck of a run at Houston, he sought to fill his staff with guys who had beaten him.
quote:
“Not one man on his (Texas A&M) staff came from any place other than a team that he lost to,” Beaty said of Sumlin. “And particularly a team that overachieved in an area. His guys on his staff are all guys that beat him somewhere.”
