I watched Jayden Daniels and LSU far too many times this year to continue to hold this in. The 2023 LSU Tigers offense was better than the 2019 National Champion offense. Before you click away, I’ve done the research, I’ve watched the games, so I’m invoking the scientific method to prove why I’m right and you, sitting there sputtering about Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, are wrong.
Let me be clear because I ran a case study with my friends so I know you’re pissed. Keep in mind that I’m talking about the offenses. The bad defense that LSU has had this year doesn’t matter here. Also, try to do me a favor when you continue reading below. That would be to take the name plates off the jerseys. If you’re close minded and don’t so that, you may feel like a jerk at the end of this. I decided to apply the scientific method to this take. So, let us begin!

Analyze Data
Alright, now let me cook. Let’s do a little “Team A/Team B” comparison.
| Stat | Team A | Team B |
| Points per Game (Rank) | 46.4 (1st) | 48.4 (1st) |
| Yards per Game (Rank) | 547.8 (1st) | 568.9 (1st) |
| Strength of Schedule (Per CFB Reference) | 4.48 (21st) | 6.60 (6th) |
| EPA per Game (Rank) | 24.1 (1st) | 21.4 (1st) |
| EPA per Play (Rank) | 0.38 (1st) | 0.30 (1st) |
| Plays per Game (rank) | 63 (T96th) | 72 (29th) |
Report Conclusions
Who are you picking? If you picked Team A because you’re a nerd and you understand that offense was more efficient with even less opportunity, you’re a smart man who picked the 2023 LSU offense. If you picked Team B because you like the counting numbers, then you’re a bum. Give Jayden Daniels the Heisman.
