LSU scored 42 on the best defense in the SEC while being on the field only 1/3 of the game. LSU had 21 minutes TOP. That is 10 possessions, 7 scores (one missed FG), 42 points in 21 minutes (20 if you take away running out the clock at the end of the game). If the defense can make a few more stops, 70 is not even close to being out of reach. I voted for 60.
