You're ignoring what I said, and changing the argument. I'm not arguin the talent we had at QB or even at RB.

I'll lay out the facts.
LSU had more rushing yards, although with one more game.
Bama's QB was better than LSU's. Thus the box was stacked vs LSU every week. Not so with Bama.
LSU faced a tougher schedule.
LSU gave up fewer sacks (protection not QB talent).
LSU lost one o-line man and gained another good one, along with an vet that was out last year (Josh D).

So you tell me why Bama's o-line is clearly better.

If we had an offense with a pulse your stats on O wouldn't have been as skewed in the NC. Also, I'm not talking about one game. I'm talking about the entire season. Y'all are really good at red herring arguments.

-"Rushing" with a punter on a trick play.
-The box was stacked, you clearly didn't watch the Bama games. AJ doesn't throw the deep ball very often so more often than not, TR was being keyed on.
-You're right, but sacks are not the only measure of a good o-line. In fact, there were 23 better teams than LSU and 31 teams better than Bama in that regard.
-Outland trophy winner, epic experience, talent, depth.

Also in terms of tougher schedule: LINK
adjusted for schedule.

Also maybe if your o-line was decent at pass protection you would have had a QB that threw for 2600 yards instead of 1300

No, I didn't. And yes you did.

I have stipulated that you did. You're arguing this?

That's LSU's problem with their offensive schemes, not ours. Your problem is with Les, I guess.

wow.

If this was allegedly "the best CFB team of all time," why didn't you seal the deal in NOLA?

quote:

LSU tried to transition to an option offense with JJ after the UK game in October, leading to less opportunities for sacks. I questioned that Les was screwing up the mentality and cohesiveness of the team. I was called out and dismissed by your friends.

I don't have to. Look at what's written about offensive lines nationally. I don't recall seeing LSU being mentioned. Unlike seeing bama mentioned as one of the best in quite a while.
