While LSU's scoring offense has been extraordinarily been impressive this season (54 ppg), WHO have they really beaten?
Georgia Southern: 55-3
at #9 Texas: 45-38
Northwestern St: 65-14
at Vanderbilt: 66-38
Utah St: 42-6
Defensively, LSU has
given up 19.8 ppg and the Tiger's best defensive performances have come against GA Southern & Utah St.
Heck, even Vanderbilt has put up 38 points on LSU's defense.
Against Georgia & Ole Miss, Vanderbilt could only score 6 points in their losses.
Maybe the Vandy output against LSU is just an outlier - strange game.

While Texas is rated as a top 15 opponent, the longhorns have given up 30 or more points to the following:
LSU: L (38-
45)
Oklahoma St: W (36-
30)
West Virginia: W (42-
31)
Texas' scoring defense has not been great either.
All season long, LSU has not seen a defense like Florida's! In order to win, Florida may have to hold LSU to
under 30 points or even under 20 points while also being able to score in the 20s/30s. Holding LSU to under 20 points at baton Rouge would be some kind of statement by the Florida defense!
