Work on your reading comprehension, sweetheart. I'm not talking about scoring offensive points. I'm talking about the notion that the defense is somehow less rested when the offense is not effective.
The numbers bear out that LSU's TOP is consistently among the highest in the league regardless of offensive numbers. And Sumlin's teams consistently have lower TOPs.
So if the excuse for Chavis's inability to put together a good scheme on third downs late in big games is that his defenses are so exhausted, it is doubtful that he'll benefit from a system in which defensive players are on the field more.

That seems logical to me.
But from my perspective I'd prefer to have a 2 score lead with 2 minutes to go than have a slightly more rested defense and only be up by 3 points.

So, your argument is that fast-scoring offenses are the same as 3-and-out offenses? Is that what you are arguing?
We can end this discussion pretty quickly if that is your position.
