re: LSU defense has played three horrible games against experienced veteran QBs

[quote]So, we have you to thank for this ridiculous metric? Thanks a ton[/quote]
Negative. It was a quote from the weekly article by Bill Connelly. I am not Bill Connelly.
I just think it is a way better metric than PPG or YPG, because it accounts for more factors. Its probably not perfect, b...

“What is SP+? In a single sentence, it's a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. I created the system at Football Outsiders in 2008, and as my experience with both college football and its stats has grown, I have made quite a ...

[quote]but their offense sucks[/quote]
I don’t know why people keep saying this, as if their offense is similar to Auburn. Bama’s SP+ offense is rated better than both Ole Miss and Missouri, and right behind FSU. They had a stinker against USF when they were figuring out QB but they have been get...

Current SP+ rankings (Off/Def):
FSU (12th/17th) - gave up 45, scored 24
Miss St (45th/60th) - gave up 15, scored 41
Arkansas (53rd/49th) - gave up 31, scored 34
Ole Miss (17th/34th) - gave up 55, scored 49

re: Wade says Pinson scans look good.

As someone who has torn their ACL three times, that replay didn’t look like ACL. ACLs don’t normally tear with a bent knee. ACL tears are usually a straight leg, shearing type injury. I’ve walked off the field/court after every ACL tear, so that doesn’t really mean anything. Also, ACL tears, if very...
re: I honestly don’t mind the #2 ranking right now
Posted by BigerTait on 11/28/19 at 6:07 pm
Are people worrying about the #2 ranking because they fear LSU will drop one of the next two? If LSU loses to A&M or UGA then I have a hard time believing they would beat both Ohio State and Clemson.
I do think if Utah ends up being the 4 seed, then playing Clemson instead of Utah in the first r...

I understand the feeling everyone has, and I’m sure the players and coaches are using it as motivation.
No one will care that LSU was #2 for a period of time if it ends in a championship ring. ...

Posted by BigerTait on 11/28/19 at 5:35 pm
Everyone is getting all torn up about OSU jumping LSU in the polls. I kind of like it to be honest.
Rankings don’t mean shite until the final polls come out, and even then the difference between playing the three seed and four seed really doesn’t matter - still going to have to beat the next bes...
re: If Honey Badger didn’t win the Heisman, neither should Chase Young
Posted by BigerTait on 11/28/19 at 5:25 pm
I think Mathieu would have won it the following year in 2012 if he didn’t get suspended and kept making ridiculous plays.
This year, I honestly would not mind if Young won the Heisman because I would love to see Burrow and LSU keep playing with a chip on their shoulder.
I don’t necessarily be...
How much does Darius Days foul?

2018-2019 season:
510 minutes played, 94 fouls (8.8 fouls per 48 minutes)
Through 5 games this season:
120 minutes played, 19 fouls (7.6 fouls per 48 minutes)
In the entire NBA last season, the player with highest fouls per 48 minutes was Mason Plumlee at 7.0. (I couldn’t find this stat for ...

re: Why does LSU not require its linemen to wear knee braces?
Posted by BigerTait on 9/4/18 at 4:36 pm
I have worn hard knee braces, and they do limit top speed (maybe 5% or something), and they do limit movement, as someone said earlier.
But limiting knee movement is the point of them, that’s how it protects the knee.
I would rather have all my guys healthy at 95% of their athletic ability t...

How do you know this?
Alabama and Clemson seem to believe they help, or they wouldn’t wear them.
Also, nothing but downvotes? I guess I learned my lesson about asking practical questions around here......
re: Why does LSU not require its linemen to wear knee braces?
Posted by BigerTait on 9/4/18 at 4:10 pm
I get your point. You can’t prevent all injuries in football.
But those linemen roll up on one another all the time, not to anyone’s fault. Just part of the sport. Adding some support in the knee area just seems like the smart thing to do....
Why does LSU not require its linemen to wear knee braces?
Posted by BigerTait on 9/4/18 at 4:05 pm
It seems like a lot of other teams require all O and D linemen to wear hard knee braces preventatively. Those two positions have the highest risk of knee injury, and every other game it seems like one of our big guys goes down at some point with some sort of minor or major knee injury.
I’ve torn...

One argument I keep seeing on here is that LSU needs to improve its passing game in order to keep winning. But no one has really specified what that means. It could mean more passes, more yards, better completion percentag...

A 6-team playoff would discourage teams from playing tougher non-conference regular-season schedules. Could you imagine if there was a 6-team playoff the last couple of years? Teams like Boise St. and Houston and TCU could have gotten in every year for literally playing no one, while a 1-loss team i...
