That's the thing that those from the little 12 and the puss10 don't understand. It doesn't show up in the box score and isn't always overly noticeable on tv. Hopefully the tree or okie jr will get to find out what Trent is talking about.
This season is setting up alot like the 2006 season. People said Florida didn't deserve to be in the BCS championship game because their victories were boring and unimpressive. They said Ohio St. was far superior. Florida went on to absolutely destroy Ohio St. LSU will likely be favored, but by a small margin because of our "lack of offense". Then we will be forced to enlighten the nation......again.
Was listening to Chris Carter today on the Doug Gottleib show on ESPN radio. Carter was saying that he had played at Ohio State and he knew what he was talking about when he said the SEC had it all. The other guys were arguing that OK State and Stanford might could hang with LSU or Alabama and Carter was laughing, repeating that these other schools may have a QB but they had no skill guys nor any front 7 guys who could hang with Bama, LSU, etc.........
LSU's offense hasn't been flashy, but there hasn't been a lack of it except for the Bama and Miss St games. None of the teams in the hunt other than Bama play defense so LSU's O will be just fine.
The people who say we (us And bama) don't have offenses haven't noticed that both teams average almost 40 points a game, with defeses giving up about 9 - 11 points per game.
Well, the Big Ten has historically been "three runs and a pile of dust" so some of us (transplanted from BTR to Detroit Metro for 14 yrs) DO know better. I think Stanford and Oklahoma State could keep the game close for 2.5 quarters - just like Oregon did. I THINK (emphasis on "think") LSU and Alabama have it over all this year and whomever won the "Battle of Tuscaloosa" would make a worthy National Champion. P.S. Oklahoma State does have skilled players as does Oklahoma (but Oklahoma will dispatch State - or "should"). They would have to play LSU just like Oregon did - short passes, bubble screens and misdirection coupled with a quick count, no huddle offense to stand any chance. It will work. For just a while. Maybe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If LSU and Alabama win out and stomp their foes while doing so, then that would make an emphatic show of their superiority. 9-6 versus each other; annihilate everybody else. But Alabama better not pull another Utah, because that would curtail the growing SEC mystique.
