Will the defensive light "get turned on" Saturday?

I refuse to believe that:
1. John Chavis forgot how to coach defense since the end of last season.
2. Our recruiting efforts were a complete whif pretty much across the defensive side of the ball, and we recruited guys that can't play.
3. Everyone we've played to date matches up well against us, thus, our d has been easy to move the ball against.
On the offensive side, at some point between the end of last year and start of this one, Cam comes in, light comes on, boom, prolific offense.
We've heard a lot of talk about communication (or the lack thereof), especially in the secondary.
I would love it if THIS game is THE game in which that light comes on. This defense has a chance to redeem itself for what has heretofore been a mediocre showing (by LSU standards). Alabama is no offensive juggernaut. Would LOVE to see these guys step up!

I think it does but it will be too late. Bama wins by 10.

The bottom line is this, and it is pretty simple:
This defense is SOFT.
Period.
They are weak, can't shed blocks, can't tackle consistently, take poor angles, and get pushed off the LOS.
If they showed some toughness at any point of the season, I would think we have a chance. They have not and will not. Just a soft, weak group.
Sorry.

Our LBs are bad, everyone else is young.
That's the story.

on the whole? no, I think that happens next yr.
hoping that Tre and RR have gotten some extra work during the bye and show some improvement. if Chavis trusts them a bit more to cover, pass rush could be more effective.

The rant says nay.
But trust me, they all hope they're wrong.
