Maybe. Maybe not. We only gave up 13 points to Ole Miss (if you take out the 9 yard post-fumble TD drive) which I think you could argue has a more dynamic offense than Alabama. So, if you get a defensive TD, maybe you score 20?


Alright, so we'll be lucky to get to 20.

Yea, if that's the case, we might lose.

You might score 50, I don't know. If you score 3 defensive/ST TDs like you did against Ole Miss, we're toast.

Every time people think they have shite figured out, everything goes exactly the opposite. Watch this turn into a 50-48 shootout. Who knows? It's all about where the mindset is of 18 to 20 year olds on a Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Nick always seems to have his guys laser focused, so you have to like your chances.

Defensive and special teams TDs also effectively take away possessions from the offense. I'm guessing the adjusted PPG is probably around 37-38 when you consider this. Plus I think we are 11th in the country in yards per play and 12th in total offense (again, despite losing possessions).

So I guess you can make the numbers say whatever you'd like them to say. But yes, we are good on offense. Lots of skill and a terrific OL. Will we struggle against LSU? Probably. I don't expect us to score 40 points. But I don't think we'll need to.
