You guys are looking at a fairly meaningless stat. Anybody can kick a FG inside 37 yards. The real stat comparison is converting TDs in the redzone. 2010 - LSU 27 of 51, 53 % (96th nationally) 2011 - LSU 35 of 46, 76 % (6th nationally)
Well that's actually what I was driving at, even though I couldn't find last year's stats. This year we have the ability to finish those drives in the end zone rather than settling - so those who say the LSU offense is average to below average simply can't or won't see reality.
oK ... yeah .. I remember that post now. I went about it a different way, but came up with a similar conclusion. I calculated the opponents score compared to what they were expected to score against their other opponents, and came up with a percentage, then averaged the percentages. The offenses Bama faced on average scored 70% of what they should have against other opponents ... the offenses LSU faced averaged 121% of what they should have scored against other opponents. I then adjusted Bama's "points against" number by the difference to put it as you say, and apples to apples comparison.
Not anyone , Bama can't Kick a FG , not this season we know that . But I bet you they are looking for someone male or female that can kick a FG . Oh ,I bet this lady has had a call from Saban already , $250,000.00 for QB LOL what is a FG Kicker worth in Sabanville today ?? Tide Fans this is for you , for not taking LSU posts .
