Yea, LSU's offense is in no way shape or form the reason LSU beat Alabama the 1st time. 9 pts, 239 yards and 4.1 YPP.
You can say that, but LSU outrushed Bama by 50+ yards in that game and finished the game with more than double the amount of rushing yards Bama gave up per game that year . Jordan Jefferson averaged as many ypc in 10+ carries as any Bama RB in that game. LSU's offense wasn't great, but it got to Bama's 2-yard-line before half and made it inside the 10 in overtime. Bama's offense never even made it to LSU's 15-yard-line. Also, Michael Ford averaged over 6 ypc on Bama's D and most of those carries were from the option.

LSU had 1 sustained drive the entire game.
It was a defensive war where Alabama had slightly more yards and slightly longer drives and LSU had 2 huge forced turnovers to prevent points and score points.
And then LSU made 2 big plays in OT and Alabama made 0.
And LSU won.
