Izzy they lost 10,but they put it on the turf 21 times. Thats not good against our defense. They will be pulling at the ball all day.
Between this stat and their "signature" wins vs Auburn and USCe, let's hope they're nothing but pretenders... :geauxtige
Yeah, I failed to look that stat up, thanks. I figured it had to be a lot. LSU doesn't allow teams to recover their own fumble too often. So the fumble stat might as well be much closer to 21 than just the 10.
Adding fuel to the fire on your stats, the stuff we were talking about in the other thread. I went back an updated LSU. LSU, Offense scores 149% of what other teams normally allow LSU, Defense only allows 42% of points that teams normally score. AR, Offense scores 148% of what other teams normally allow. AR, Defense, allows 91% of points that teams normally score. It's clear what the difference in this game is going to be. AR and LSU's offenses are Both equally capable of scoring points, but .. LSU's defense allows only 42% of points that other teams normally score, whereas AR, allows teams to score at will. LSU's performace includes performaces against very good offenses, including OR, WVU, and Bama. No matter how you slice it ... using LSU's numbes, or AR's numbers ... this game will be a two score difference in favor of LSU. Where the problem for AR lies, is that 148% of 10, is just 14 points. 91% of 37 is 34 points. Turn it around and use AR numbers with LSU's percentages, .. 148% of 21 is 31 points ..... 42% of 39 is only 16 points. They lose either way. And these types of numerical "performance" comparison's have been pretty fricken accurate to date. :geaux:
Only applying the defensive stat you presented, the final score would be: LSU 35, Arkansas 17 Adding in field advantage: LSU 38, Arkansas 17 This is probably the most common prediction of the outcome of this game.
I saw the Alabama game and the stat that jumps out at me is SACKS... I hope our front four can get to Wilson... a lot.
YUP ... my prediction is LSU 34, AR 17. What keeps comming up is, AR 17. I think that is about all they will score on this stingy LSU defense unless we have some major breakdowns in coverage on the pass.
If you read hogville.net it seems like they all have a bit of an inferiority complex. It will be nice to reinforce that for them. My biggest concern looking at those stats is kickoff returns. I expect that we will have multiple kickoffs and so far this year our coverage kind of sucks. Would be nice to put a few of those deep in the end zone.
