re: How is LSU's defense now considered bad?

The defense is not nearly as imposing as it has been. Traditionally, LSU's defense is faster than the opponent's offense.
This is not the case this year, as both TCU and UAB had quite a bit of success running outside the tackles. In addition, Mills getting toasted deep wasn't a one-time event; there have been several times where WRs are running free but the QB just doesn't see them. A more accomplished offense has a chance to put some serious points on us.
It's my hope that most of the issues are from being inexperienced, and will resolve over the course of the season. That said, from what I've seen, I'm not sure putting 30 points on UGA or A&M will be enough. For that matter, the scheme Auburn runs might give us fits too.

I generally agree with this assessment. If we are going to win the SEC, the run defense in particular has to improve.

They still are as fast as ever. From what I've seen they've just been tackling badly and taking poor angles. Physically this D can still stand up to anyone.
