LSU is known for its rabid fan base, its white jerseys at night in Death Valley, it’s punishing physicality. It has not been known for having a prolific offense.
Their last good offense, 2013, with the likes of OBJ, Jarvis Landry, and Jeremy Hill (plus three others drafted from the offensive side of the ball), LSU struggled to put up points requisite with the elite in the country. From 2011-2013, considered LSU’s last stay atop the CFB elite, the Tigers placed 40th, 13th, and 57th in scoring offense. The stagnation continued and eventually Les Miles was let go in 2016.
