LSU in the SEC hasn't faced a defense like OU's.

We’re the best offense they’ve seen by almost 14 PPG. And we’re the second best defense they’ve faced.
Only the second best defense? Well that certainly bodes well for an offense that averages 8.15 yards per play.

Look, I like Oklahoma, aight? I think y'all have done very well down the stretch and your defense has really stepped up to match the offense the past few weeks.
So, I don't want to come off as an arse when I say this, but Lamb is the only Sooner player who would absolutely start at LSU in 2019 (and, frankly, it would be somewhat close between him and Jefferson). Gallimore would play a lot in the rotation and maybe start. Motley might be the nickel versus 5 wides.
That's it.
(ETA: And I recognize Hurts would start at probably 80 or 90 other FBS teams, but it is what it is.)

Scoring defense wise it’s just Baylor.

How do you feel about your 49th ranked scoring defense bs the #3 ranked scoring defense?
Does being the 6th best defense we’ve faced bode well for you?

Well considering OU has the top ranked defense in the Big XII and ranks 8 spots higher in total defense than LSU's, to only say they've "stepped it up" would be an understatement.

It would absolutely not be close between CeeDee and Mr. Jefferson. CeeDee is ranked higher according to Draft Scouts WR rankings for the 2021 class. If CeeDee leaves, he'll be a first round pick. Jefferson will be lucky to even sniff Day 1 of the draft if he goes high in the 2nd round. Neville Gallimore ranks higher than Rashard Lawrence for the 2020 DT class, and if you think Motley is our best DB you haven't even seen Bookie Radley-Hiles or Tre Brown play. But since you say he "might" start as your nickelback, well thanks I'm sure he'd be very flattered to play alongside your talented secondary.

That's it
Ok, so you dare to underestimate the talent and depth of OU because perhaps it isn't as sexy or appealing as LSU's? OU has a damn good offensive line led by a Rimington Award finalist in center Creed Humphrey and OU's ground game averages 6 yards a pop. OU also has a dynamic passing attack that averages 11.4 yards per pass attempt featuring not only CeeDee, but also receivers Charleston Rambo, Lee Morris, and promising group of young freshman receivers who were all five stars according to Rivals last year. Perhaps this will be the game Jadon Haselwood finally breaks out, being that this game will be in his hometown of Atlanta and there are a lot of OU players from the state of Georgia who will be fired up about playing back home. Add to it we have a very talented defensive front seven led by linebacker Kenneth Murray and a defensive line that features Gallimore, Ronnie Perkins, Jalen Redmond, Marquise Overton, and so on. OU sacked Sam Ehlinger 9 times in Dallas, and they also sacked Baylor 6 times in the Big XII title game. They are a very potent pass rush that LSU's offensive coaching staff better not take lightly. As Alex Grinch is a mastermind of creating presnap looks and confusion that will benefit OU greatly if Joe Brady isn't careful when coming out with his own gameplan.

Hurts' success doesn't even tell the whole story about how potent this offense is yet again. Lincoln Riley is one of the most coveted coaching prospects that NFL teams are trying to bring in. The reason why is he is such a creative gameplanner and playcaller is he always orchestrates his offense around the skillset of his quarterback, it doesn't matter who it is. With Baker, he ran a more "Air Raid" oriented attack and with Kyler, he ran a offense that centered around the "Run-Pass Option" and it's the same thing with Jalen, but with more of a power run than a finesse run. I'd be certain to presume he'll run this same effective gameplan against an LSU team that struggles with dual threat quarterbacks, as evidenced by Ole Miss's Plumlee.

These fans have only been watching OU and don't know S H I T about this LSU team.
I live with an OU fan (wife, no pics). I have watched every LSU game this year and every OU game that was televised.
And so has she. She isn't confident at all, and says LSU by 20+. I say OU's offense is damn impressive and their defensive pass rush is strong at times, but mostly on obvious passing downs when the opponent is forced to throw in 3rd/4th and very long situations.
Our offense may very well never even see a third or fourth down against the OU defense. The LSU offense is going to eviscerate them starting on the very first drive. Their offense will score points for damn sure, but don't be surprised to see LSU double the OU points output.

Y’all love to cling to this cherry picked total defense thing. What y’all fail to do is look at advanced metrics or the big picture on what contributes to your total defense ranking. Part of the reason you allow less yards per game is how often you are giving teams shorter fields due to turnovers, and y’all are one of the most penalized teams in the FBS.
You are behind LSU in yards per play. Y’all are 20+ spots behind us in scoring defense. We are 16th in red zone defense, whereas there are only 4 teams in the FBS with a worse red zone defense than you. Passing EPA (expected points added), y’all are again one of the worst in the FBS. And that is before having to face Joey Heisman, our stable of NFL receivers, and Darren Sproles 2.0.
Sure your defense is much improved this year, but hanging your hat on “total defense” is just delusional optimism. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Auburn have a better total defense, and we torched them all.
