"Their first game..is LATech.  Gonna be a big jump when they play LSU".

LSU's first game?

Georgia Southern.

Has there been an influx of aggy moving to BR lately?

Also, LSU's last two games against LATech...

LSU-24/LATech-16

LSU-38/LATech-21

Oh yeah, gonna be a BIIIIIIIG JUMP!

Instead of posting the practice schedule online or in the locker room, Orgeron called everyone personally to tell them when and where to be. Half of them thought he was trying to sell them a car warranty, and the other half are wandering the Memphis airport, looking for a little girl in a pink gorilla costume.

Pure facts! LSU has to be #1 at underachieving with all that talent they have. And to be honest I don’t see their offense turning into some explosive OU or Alabama type of offense. But hey I like our chances September 7th

Just want to make sure that you know LSU "O" actually had a higher PPG avg than the horns. That was in a conference that knows how to play a little defense.

[Lone Star Horn 2,016]

bah, it's easy to claim to have a high rated defense when half your conference doesn't know about the invention of the forward pass

Did you take out the 7 OT game vs A&M in your average?

or the juggernaut from SE Louisiana?

Nice job this year bracketing Texas with Georgia Southern and Northwestern St,

LSU plays in a conference full of primitive offenses that make an opposing D look good.  Things look a lot different when they run into competent, modern offenses.

Georgia was averaging 18.5 PPG before the bowl.  Texas put 28 on them even trying to run the clock out for most of the 2nd half.

Bama gave up 14.8 PPG.  OU scored 34 and Clemson 44 against them.

Mizzou's D averaged 24.4 PPG.  Okie Lite barely qualified for a bowl game.  The Cowboys had a 3-6 record in the Big XII and scored 38 points.

Vandy surrendered 25.1 PPG.  Like OSU, Baylor barely qualified and had a losing record in the Big XII.  The Bears put up 45 in the bowl.

Objectively, Big XII offenses were much better than those of the SEC in the 4 inter-conference bowl games.  Texas outscored UGa's average by 9.5 points.  OU went 19.2 points over Alabama's average.  OSU was a lower tier Big XII team and exceeded Missouri's average by 13.6 points.  Baylor another lower tier team from the Big XII beat Vandy's average defensive effort by 19.9 points.

On the flip side of the coin, Texas averaged 31.1 points scored with 28 vs Georgia.  IOW, the 2nd rated defense in the SEC was 3 points tougher than the average defense in the Big XII.  Alabama did manage to keep OU 15 points under their average but that average was so high that Bama looked merely above average, not utterly dominant as they did against the SEC's crap offenses.  OSU was right on their average so Mizzou performed like an average Big XII defense.  Finally Baylor was scoring 28.3 PPG coming into the bowl.  Vandy's D was 17 points worse than the average D in the Big XII.

When you look at actual outcomes, it's clear that any claim of tough defense in the SEC is the result of how bad the offenses are in that league.  The same defenses look MUCH worse when pitted against modern, well-coached offenses - even those with significantly less talent.  Put SEC teams through a Big XII schedule and I guarantee you that most of them would give up north of 30 PPG.  The proof is in the pudding even if it is a bitter pill for the SEC homers to swallow.

LSU had the luxury of playing 4 bad defenses OOC plus the 7 OT game.  I guess they should get a consolation prize for the refs screwing them at A&M.  Let's look at how LSU ACTUALLY did against their SEC slate shall we?

22 pts @ Auburn.  45 vs Ole Miss, 19 @ Florida, 36 vs Georgia (with help from 5 turnovers), 19 vs MSU, ZERO vs Alabama, 24 @ Arkansas and 72 @ A&M (31 in regulation).  Looks like 24.5 PPG in regulation for SEC play.  Which of those offensive performances are supposed to impress us again?

Asked my LSU friend about this. He said most of the guys are out as a precaution and “will be fine,” and they are just “dealing with minor injuries.”

To me, when you have that many guys out milking minor injuries, that speaks to larger culture issues.

SEC Bowl game scores 2018 >>>

Clemson 44 - Alabama 16

Iowa 27 - Miss St 22

Kentucky 27 - Penn St 24

LSU 40 - MIGHTY University of Central Florida 32

Texas 28 - Georgia 21

Okie St 38 - Missouri 33

Texas A&M 52 - NC State 13 (Yay, we rely on aggy to help keep the illusion on life support!!!)

Florida 41 - Michigan 15 (Solid)

Virginia 28 - South Carolina 0 

Alabama 45 - Oklahoma 34

 

So, the MIGHTY SEC averages giving up 4 touchdowns per game during bowl season last year.  LMAO!

Don't forget UGa's pride and joy: their running game.

before the bowl: 249 YPG, 6.03 per carry

vs Texas: 72 yards, 2.40 per carry

vs LSU: 113 yards, 3.77 per carry

vs Bama: 153 yards, 3.92 per carry

[Richter 2,259]

All these statistics are meaningless when you factor in the incontrovertible fact that SEC teams only want to play for championships and therefore basically hand the opposing teams victory in regular bowl games.

And 40% of Georgia's yards came in the 4th Q when Texas was perfectly willing to trade space for time.

Except for when they don't and they actually win, which in that case is undeniable proof of the SEC's superiority.

Very well known.  Cops love ‘em  some unreliable testing. Makes everybody “arrestable”.

I’ll bet anything they didn’t test anything.  80 mph, dark skinned fella, South Carolina?

THAT’S what happened.

Consulted with a local defense attorney a couple of years ago (analyzing laptop drive), and found that the field testing kits which are supplied to the cops for a few bucks a pop (of course, you can't buy just ONE, you get a box with a couple hundred different tests). Turned out that most of them have from at least 35% to over 70% false positives. You could scoop up a little dirt from the roadside and get a hit. But of course YMMV.
