ESPN - LSU D-ends expect improved pass rush

Hunter and Rasco both were consistent players in previous defensive coordinator John Chavis’ scheme, but they were hardly sack machines. The two starters combined for just 5.5 sacks, and the Tigers’ total of 19 sacks tied for 101st nationally and second-to-last in the SEC. In fact, the past two years have seen a substantial drop from the early days of Chavis’ regime, when LSU’s fearsome defenses tied for 19th (in 2010 with 34 sacks), 11th (in 2011 with 39 sacks) and 16th (in 2012 with 35 sacks) in sacks behind dynamic edge rushers such as Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery.
