The LSU football program has been one of the best in the SEC over the past decade, but for all of their success, they’ve struggled to have a consistent offensive attack, which is likely what decided the fate of Les Miles.
The 2016 LSU Tigers allowed 15.8 points per game, which ranked second in the SEC and fifth in the country, so clearly the defense was not the reason for their 8-4 record a year ago. That blame should be reserved for the offense. And that leads us to no. 37 on the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.
