Their defense is legit and loaded with talent.
For comparison, Florida D is ranked 40th in total defense, LSU is 29th.
In scoring defense, Florida is 43rd, LSU 17th.

They are NOT a great defense like you guys keep saying.

Thank You! Florida is a bad football team. Amazing that they were actually worse than us. Great team win, but it was a security blanket for most people, much like the Wisconsin game.

florida has the best secondary we have played all year; by far. their front 7 is not as good as they have fielded in the past but are still pretty good.

screw the stats. they are always skewed esp at this time of the year. football seasons are pretty short compared to baseball and basketball so after 6 games stats are just not enough to go by unless you delve into WHO they played, specific GAME situations and other factors such as how long the defense had to be on the field due to a crap offense. and of those 6 games (remember they one cancelled) one of them was against LSU.

Better than Wiscy. As good as Auburn. Their defensive stats suffer because of their offense...like so many past LSU teams.

They aren't great, but they aren't terrible. They lost a game against Idaho that would have made their numbers better. That needs to be considered when one looks at their total numbers. It would be like dropping the Sam Houston or ULM game from LSU's stats.
