Quick Observation

LSU's Schedule (sans McNeese State):



















































OpponentPass Yds.Pass Rtg.Rush Yds.
North Carolina35th26th86th
Vanderbilt101st88th60th
Mississippi St.88thNR21st
West Virginia57th22nd66th
Tennessee71st62nd94th
Florida84th83rd75th
Auburn76th2nd6th



The only teams LSU has played to this point who are even ranked are Mississippi State (#24) and West Virginia (#20). Neither has a particuarly good offense (MSU is 55th, WVU is 64th) and the Bengal Tigers got both teams at home.

I am not going to say that LSU's defense isn't good. It is. But, perhaps it isn't as good as it has appeared thus far due to playing less than stellar competition.

The only category that Auburn doesn't stand head and shoulder's above the rest in is Passing Yards. But, when you see that the passing offense is ranked 2nd nationally in pass efficiency you can deduct that we simply haven't had to throw that often but when we do go to the air we do so with exceptional, nearly unmatched, efficiency.

The best rushing offense they've seen, the most efficient passing offense they've seen, on the road... not sayin', just sayin'.
