    Well of course, but I'm specifically addressing the offense. Obviously the D is not a big problem with LSU.

    That's my point.


    Some of you keep mentioning these other teams and their O, yet, they wouldn't beat LSU nor would they have close to the record we have. Hell, WVU has an O 20X's better than LSU right? Yet they are getting smashed.... WHY?


    The point is that, while I disagree with our production on O, I'd take a Top 2 D over an O any day of the week....

    Maybe we need to start trying to find a more cerebral quarterback instead of going after huge arms or great athleticism.

    He would have had more, if we would have had a good offense.

    Exactly, Mettenberger could have gone for over 300 if he hits all his throws. Receivers were open today, wide open.

    When you're looking at comparing offenses, you don't compare their defenses. Your view is misplaced here. Also, I'm not talking about WVU. LSU has common opponents with both LT and ULM that can be used for comparison.

    Like you said earlier, a team is two parts. Just like you can't win with an "all-powerful" offense and no defense like WVU, you can't win with an "all-powerful" defense and no offense. No offense is why the Florida game was lost... why the Auburn and Towson games were too close... etc.

    But the teams you mentioned lost.

    You haven't made a point.


    I mean if you point is our O sucks, you are about 5 years late bro...
