re: Question About Turnovers

Our defense didn't play THAT bad against MSU. Yea, MSU sucks but LSU really only gave 17 points to them. The last TD was off a turnover on downs on their goaline. That shouldn't go against defense, not much they can do.

When your defense sits on the field for 80+ plays, gets 4 turnovers and offense can't do anything with it, you start to get winded. If LSU was able to sustain drives, it might of completely changed the complexion of the game for LSU's defense for about a million reasons. The big plays they gave up, Safeties were in position, just misjudged the ball.

They did run pretty good but a lot of those yards came in the 4th quarter, off a powerful RB that is suppose to get his big yards in the 4th. LSU's defense was really getting winded at that point and it was obvious.

LSU does have major problems on its d-line though. From depth, to lack of consistency in pass rush, to inconsistency closing gaps on run plays. I think our young secondary can be very good if they can get just a little support from the front four. I don't care if you have PP's in your entire secondary, if you play against a decent QB and he has all day to throw, hes going to make the secondary look terrible. On the deep pass that Hatcher missed the tackle on, it should of been a sack but instead, someone cut Taylor's leg from out under him. He definitely was going to sack MSU's QB because he was closing on him pretty damn fast. It starts in the trenches and LSU has been horrible on both sides this year.
