re: How big of a jump will LSU's defense really make in the upcoming year with new faces.

With House it was mainly scheme oriented. Now with Baker will see a much more aggressive approach. That alone will improve about 30 spots.

Then the players really like Baker which will help with effort and tackling. Players had very little respect for House and it showed.

We will have a drop off in offense too. Jayden converted so many downs from his legs, we wont have that option. I'm hoping the improvement in Defense makes up for the drop off in offense with departing Heisman winner.
