I agree with this.
It just so happens that LSU's run defense and run offense have aligned extremely well this year.
In fact, the difference in yards/rush vs. yards/rush allowed is much better than it's been in the recent past (since 2003) at 3.84 (including Florida game).
for comparison
2003 - 2.1
2007 - 1.7
2011 - 2.06

If you look at the team stats of every national champ for the last 25 years you will see OP is correct.
Having an elite defense is far more of a contributing factor to winning a national title than having an elite offense.
The cliche is a cliche because it's true, defense does win championships.
Sure there are outliers every now and then, but like I said, look back and you will consistently see the national champion almost always has one of the best defenses in the country, far more frequently than they have one of the best offenses.
