Talent level matters. We shouldn't barely score more than LSU against a P5 team. The fact that they had more yards and nearly as many points should be cause for concern.

It matters in scoring. Without yards, you don;t score. They are linked.
What you are saying is they did their damage in the first half. You are only making the point for me. 10 points against their 1s.
RB.. 33 attempts for 88 yards.
QB.. 37 attempts for 204 and a TD.
First, that's 70 plays ran against the # 6 team in the country. Second, that's 284 yards with a team that is no where NEAR the level of talent that OSU has. That's 100 yards more than what we put up against LSU.
To keep it real, OSU's defense is 3rd in the nation. LSU's is ranked 60th!
FWIW, some sports book guy whose last name is Lisi was on a college football show I was just listening to. He calls for Mississippi State to upset South Carolina this weekend.
