Our LBs are bad, everyone else is young
Partly right. I don't buy the "young" excuse. Johson, Ego, Rasco and Allen have all been in the program for at least 3 years. Loston is a 5th yr Sr. and Martin is a Jr. Mills started or played every game last year and 9 this year. Youth isn't the issue.
The LB's aren't great, but the biggest difference in this LSU defense when compared to those in the past is along the D-line. Simply put, this D-line isn't anywhere close to previous d-line groups. IMO the bulk of the problems start with them. When you can't rush the passer, nor stop the run up front, the backers and DBs are going to struggle as a result.
This is game 10. If it was going to happen, the light would have come on by now. If LSU wants to be successful on defense Sat. they're going to have to take some risks, even if that means leaving some guys in difficult one-on-one situations.

Completely agree with this. Whoever said "we are what we are" is also right; thus, we'll need to take some chances.
Still though, for the life of me, I can't figure out how our defense got to this state. I mean Chavis knows what he's doing. He's fielded great defenses. That side of the ball is filled with some highly recruited talent.
PS - Florida's offense MUST be horrific, because our defense did look pretty good against them.
