Time to transfer from paper to field

So LSU's sports information cranks out a release title, "On paper, football team is SEC's best.''

Uh, last I checked there were no championships handed out for performances on paper.

The gist of the release is that LSU leads the SEC in four offensive statistical categories and eight defensive statistical categories.

That's all well and good, but the Tigers have two SEC losses.

I hate to keep pounding on this all week, but it's time for LSU to show up in the big games. It's time for those numbers in the weak home schedule to transfer over to the much tougher road schedule. It's time for LSU to be the team everyone thinks it is.
