Plugged some numbers into ChatGPT and found out the following. LSU is a talented defense, don’t get me wrong, but their numbers are highly skewed by their performances against unranked opponents. Oddly enough, Texas has been better at stopping the run vs ranked than unranked teams.

Additionally, against current CFP ranked teams, LSU allows a red zone TD rate of 62.5% (10/16) while Texas allows 36.4% (4/11)

Of course. I can’t take all the credit though. This topic was inspired by @NashTalksTexas on Twitter/X. Didn’t want to share paywall info here so I created it by pulling the datapoint info myself.

Thanks. This is great. The non- ranked probably speaks to the quality of some of the out of conf teams UT played. For example Tx st and UTSA are much better quality vs some of teams LSU faced (Mcneese and La tech).
