The "Eye Test" doesn't either.
My Ole Miss comment is not a stat, therefore it is also not being sliced and diced. It is an observation. But I like how you completely ignore every actual statistic I posted because they fly in the face of this nonsense.
Realistic? LOL, but ok, I'll bite. LSU averaged 100.7 yards per game without Ole Miss.... that's cute.
Fun Fact #6: 1995 Florida averaged allowing 93 yards rushing per game, placing them with the 5th best rush defense at the close of their 11th game... then Nebraska hit them.
They could beat anybody... dude multiple teams took them into the 4th quarter, 3 teams took them down til the final seconds. Nebraska didn't even need to put an offense on the field in ANY 4th quarter. Again, I am not saying that LSU was not a great team, but you act as if they blew everyone out of the water.... they didn't, 95 Nebraska did.
Want some more actual stats?
Fun Fact #7: LSU had 35 sacks allowed - putting them at 86th in the nation in that statistical category. Nebraska allowed 0 sacks. That is not a typo, the answer is ZERO.
Given how you said this "That "straight liability" defense held Clemson scoreless for the last 25:49 of the second half." - You must think really highly of Clemson. Clemson had the 5th best offense in the country coming out of the weakest conference in the P5 (get over it Clemson fans, you know its true). Florida had the 4th best offense in 1995 in the 3rd best conference (1st -B1G, 2nd - Big 8, 3rd - SEC) with 3 other SEC teams being ranked. 2019 Clemson is the ONLY team in the ACC that finished ranked.
Lets look at how many shutout quarters 19LSU and 95Nebraska had and to keep it fair, we will only look at the teams that finished in the top 10 for both teams.
2019 LSU
Florida - 4th quarter
Bama - 3rd quarter
UGA - 1st and 3rd quarter
Clemson - 4th quarter
5 shutout quarters out of 5 top ten teams (OU finished in the top ten, but was not shutout in any quarter).
1995 Nebraska
Kansas St - 2nd and 3rd quarters
Colorado - 4th quarter
Kansas - 1st, 3rd, and 4th quarters
Florida - 2nd quarter
7 shutout quarters out of 4 top ten teams.
LSU loses every real statistic, hence why so many are talking about the 7 top ten teams they beat.... oh yeah, those 4 and 5 loss top ten teams. No, its bullshit, its just the benefit of nonsensical preseason rankings. Hence why (where they finish) matters.... you know, once more than 1 or 2 games are played.
Everything lines up against LSU in comparison... so I would like you to answer me one question, where in any of the stats I posted am I wrong or lying? Otherwise if you or anyone else can admit that these are all accurate and still deny these facts, then you're either trolling or simply willfully wrong.
Are you really pulling out the sack stat for an option offense?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Threw the ball well over 200 times....
not.
one.
sack.
Impressive stat no doubt, but you threw it about 17 times a game. That’s not a lot.
Where are the screaming bama fans?
You could argue best resume ignoring MOV, but they had 3 games decided by a TD or less. Possibly top 5, but not 95 NU level.
Ok, what is up with this 44 year old accountant that may have helped out the 1995 Nebraska team? I watched that vid, is that legit?
Probably fake news.

Nebraska had a higher Margin of Victory after 3 quarters and after 4 quarters against their final top ten opponents.
LSU has more top ten opponents because of playoffs, otherwise it would have been the same.
Nebraska played on the road against final top 10 ranked teams in two games. nebraska won on the road by 30.5 points
LSU played on the road against final top 10 ranked teams in one game and only won by 5 points. Alabama running back averaged 7.7 yards rushing on the LSU rush defense.
Clemson Travis Etienne averaged over 5 yards vs LSU rush defense
Alabama Najee Harris averages 7.7 yards vs LSU riush defense
Not convinced 2019 LSU is better than 1995 Nebraska. Against the better quality opponents, nebraska defeated them in a more dominant manner.
I honestly vote Nebraska, as the team had a lot of games where they scored more than 50 points, especially the natty against Florida, even though Nebraska played less games than LSU due to the playoff system not happening in 1995
