Need rebuttals!

Not sure if you are suggesting that LSU's pass defense IS tested while tOSU's is not. If so, here's a bit of information for you. The LSU pass defense may have indeed been "tested" but they failed miserably at those tests against the better offenses that they faced.
LSU gave up 409 passing yards to Texas. The 409 passing yards Texas put up against LSU was THE MOST passing yards Texas has had all season. And remember, Texas also played La Tech, Rice and Kansas this year.
LSU gave up 311 passing yards against Florida. Mighty Towson didn't even allow Florida to pass for 300 yards.
LSU gave up 418 passing yards against Bama.
Hell, LSU gave up 38 points to Vandy which was the most points Vandy has scored on ANY opponent this season. And just for the sake of comparison, Vandy only scored 24 points against Purdue.
No disrespect but LSU has a good offense, but they don't scare me at all. Seems like every average to good offense they play takes their defense to the woodshed.

Surprise surprise, a fan base has bias vision and looking for silver linings

Defense wins championships

Can’t argue with facts. My hope is that they find a consistent pass rush and those numbers will improve.

1 post too many.

Agree with that guy. We’re getting exploited.

Pretty simple... Game script. We boat raced most of those teams in the 1Q and 1H so they had to throw almost every single play to have a shot to come back. Try comparing yards per pass attempt instead of raw number of yards.

The comment about Florida is particularly true. He's not wrong.
Anyways, here's to hoping we see them on Jan. 13. Playing OSU for the title in NOLA has worked out well so far...

The transitive property always works in football.

Ohio State would be an epic shoot out I don’t think anyone doubts that
Posted on 11/12/19 at 8:09 pm to Nevada
Seems like a reasonable observation
Posted on 11/12/19 at 8:10 pm to Nevada
Our defense isn’t stellar? Who knew?!
Posted on 11/12/19 at 8:11 pm to Nevada
OSU is #1 in Pass Defense averaging giving up 126.6 ypg on 229 pass attempts. They’ve played 3 ranked teams. Indiana (33 attempts), Cincinnati (20 attempts), and Wisconsin (17 attempts). Overall, 119 completions on 229 attempts for a 51.9% completion rate against.
We’re giving up 239.8 ypg on 318 attempts. We’ve played 4 ranked teams. Texas (47 attempts), Florida (43 attempts), Auburn (35 attempts) and Bama (40 attempts). 171 completions on 318 attempts for a 53.7% completion rate.
Not a huge difference.
Do you think they’d only be giving up 126 ypg passing against our schedule?
Do they think they have better defense backs than we do?

Bear in mind those teams HAD to pass to keep up with our offense.

Our defense is good. They do enough each and every game to give us a chance to win. Our defense in the first half against Texas and Bama was extremely good. That’s all we needed from then to give us a chance to win
