Haven't you asked this question already in this thread?

Bama's defense got shredded by UGA in the SEC title game and by A&M last year.

08 UF was just as good offensively.

11 bama shut down LSU's offense. Really?

09 bama owned UF but UF lost both Harvin and Murphy and had Addazio as the OC.

08 UF with Harvin wouldve busted that SEC title game against bama open.

FIFY. And that lsu offense averaged close to 40 ppg. The hateful bunch might have been the greatest college defense ever assembled

Even the smartest LSU fans will tell you that offense averaging 40 a game was a fluke.

Hopefully we'll follow Alabama's lead over the next few years after losing to an inferior team in the Sugar Bowl.

Not a fluke. Great D + special teams = short field....basically. Plus we ran over everyone except UA.

I was more referring to the offense led by Jordan Jefferson

What offense?

The O, by ESPN method, in 2011, ranked 57th.

2012 Florida somewhat reminded me of 2008 Bama

I see good things from Florida in the coming years

LSU will still bitch and complain because we got them at a down time. Even though they are having to play them every year during the same down time.

Down? UF-Bama in 2014 could be a matchup with both teams in the Top 5.

Wow, I really wish I had read some of this thread before my first response.

Just a question, how is it possible that a team AVERAGING 40 pts per game over the course of 8-9 games (could be off by 1) could possibly be a fluke. A 40 pt game could be a fluke, but a 8 game average is just that, an average. It's not really possible to call that a fluke.

LSU had the 57th ranked offense in 2011.

Yes I'd say averaging 40 is a fluke or miracle especially with JJ or Lee as Qb.

Yes, you are currently down. Under myers Florida was arguably the best or second best team in the country every year. Now they aren't even in the discussion and you bragging about possibly being a top 5 team is proof. Under Myers, saying top 5 was an insult, much like Alabama currently.

The Problem is that saying an average stat per game is a fluke is by definition a ridiculous statement. Flukes are something that happen once just out of sheer luck. An average over a span of several games is neither sheer luck nor something that only happened once.

So me saying bama possibly being a top 5 team next year is an insult to bama?

Oh lawd. I knew some gumps were arrogant but that just takes the cake.

Edit: talking about 2014 obviously.

Go check the stats on where those points came from.

Then go look at the stats from the SECCG against UGA.

LSU's offense was clearly better than last year's, but it was not a 40 ppg offense.

Not being nitpicky, but everyone knows that LSU offense wasn't that good. They averaged 31 pts per game for the season and had plenty of short fields to work with due to the greatness of the defense.

They were 59th in total offense. The defense/special teams scored 9 touchdowns.

*Correction they were 57th in total offense in 2011.

Insult is a strong word, but it applies in the context I used it. When you win 3 of the last 4 crystal balls, saying you are top 5 is a bit of an insult IMO.

@cas4t my issue was with his wording. That offense wAsnt all that great, but you can't call an average over several games a fluke.

On an unrelatded note, you would be proud of me. I argued in favor of you Greek assholes with a friend of mine the other day and even used you and having to sleep outside in the rain as an example of hazing that I don't have a problem with.
