Taking it a step further, LSU’s 2019 offense could not be equaled or surpassed. Who could possibly roll off 568.4 yards per game (1st in the nation), 7.89 yards per play (2nd), 48.4 points per game (2nd), 6,024 passing yards, 61 passing touchdowns, 95 total touchdowns and 726 total points.
Since 2009, 29 teams have averaged at least 10 yards per passing attempt. Among the other 28 averaged 305.8 total passes; 10 threw fewer than 200. LSU maintained a 10.6-yard average while throwing 567 passes.

Well, Alabama’s 2020 offense will not match LSU’s cumulative numbers. The coronavirus pandemic has made sure this edition of the Crimson Tide will not throw for 6,024 yards or score 726 points.
But on a per play and per game basis, 2020 Alabama has been even better
quote:
Because Jones is getting more done on fewer throws than Burrow, Steve Sarkisian has more opportunities to feed Najee Harris.
While Clyde Edwards-Helaire ranked a respectable 28th nationally with 94.3 rushing yards per game on 14.3 carries per game, Harris is currently fifth in the FBS in rushing. His 83 carries have accumulated 499 yards — 6.01 a pop, second in FBS among all players with at least 80 carries — with a national best 11 touchdowns.
In total, Harris has registered 585 yards and 11 scores on 91 scrimmage touches through four games, compared to Edwards-Helaire’s 496 yards and four touchdowns on 56 touches at this point in 2019.

Their OL is much better than ours was, but Jones doesn't have Burrow's ability to manipulate the pocket, occasionally scramble and even run some called draws

BAMA's 2020 offensive line >> LSU's 2019 offensive line

Although Burrow is better than Mac, the skill positions are about equal and the Alabama O-line is miles ahead of LSU's last year. I could definitely see this Alabama offense being better.
Only time will tell

Efficiency wise Yes. But we aren’t gonna have the overall numbers for 3 reasons...
Not as many games, Saban will milk the clock at the end with a lead, and Saban loves to be basic when we put the backups in instead of running the same offense.

Agreed they have a better OL
But there’s just something wrong with SEC defenses this year. I guess it’s something to do with the lack of prep time but Arkansas and Kentucky seem to be the only teams with competent defenses.

Comparison is great, and I love me so Alabama football... hopefully the trend continues through the full season.

Bull shite WillyT ... asterisks are for quitters and political sheep.... bet there won’t be many Hog fans up in here calling for an asterisk...
Is this what LSU fandom has become? Sads...

Just because we tore up UGA's defense doesn't magically make it incompetent. By that logic, every team LSU's offense was successful against had an incompetent defense as well.

He started that asterisk shite right after he lost to Harry Potter & Gryffindor

OSU this year will be totally unstopabe. Only 8 games but unstopable.

That’s assuming they even get through their whole season. The Big10 has tighter covid protocols and no bye weeks.

There's no way in hell 2019 LSU had the greatest CFB offense in history over 1995 Nebraska. 2019 LSU averaged 48.2 PPG during a season when the median PPG by a CFB team was 29.2 PPG. 1995 Nebraska averaged 53.2 PPG during a season when the median PPG by a CFB team was 24.6 PPG. 2019 LSU averaged 568 yards of total offense per game in a season when the median ypg by a CFB team was 405 ypg. 1995 Nebraska averaged 556 yards of total offense per game in a season when the median ypg by a CFB team was 369 ypg. 1995 Nebraska's offense was far more impressive and dominant than 2019 LSU was. 2020 Alabama isn't in 1995 Nebraska's league either.
