Steele's defense: the numbers
Posted on 12/30/15 at 11:30 am

nationally:
total defense: #8
yards per play: #6
pts. per game: #42
as per Jimmy Ott this morning. Not too bad really. We could certainly do much, much worse. I'm ok with keeping him. It was, after all, his first year. I expect next year to be even better. Don't really understand all the hate.

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that

I don't think Steele was much of a problem at all this year.
I think all the issues on D were tied to lack of depth in the front 7 and the hiccups that come with a new coach/scheme.
Should be much better next year with the same defensive staff if we get any LB production.

Improvement on special teams, primarily kick and punt coverage, would be huge for the scoring number.

The DL was much more aggressive. The linebackers were solid. The decline was with the defensive backfield. They got burned in key situations all year, even with increased pressure from the front 7.

yeah it was the points per game that really hurt us. Many of those came off busted coverages and missed tackles (which doesn't absolve Steele). I think we can do a lot better in terms of a DC hire and our defense was just as bad as our offense in our 3 losses, but it wasn't all bad this year.

Points per game

Nothing else actually matters.
LSU gave up 19+ in their first 10 games.

Steele and O are a winning combo going forward. I hope he stays. The scoring number will be improved with the DBs having another year in his system. I'm glad we have a LB coach as DC. We are going to need that next year.

Yeah. Steele took a lot of shite this year but a lot of it was unfair.
Bottom line. It's hard to stay dominant on defense if your offense turns invisible for large portions of games.
Yes, sometimes the defense looked rough early in games. But, it's still hard to tell in the overall picture.

Now take out the OOC opponents and tell me where he ranks.

using CFBstats.com, only the PPG looks right. where are you getting this from? just trusting Jimmy?

those numbers aren't bad at all.
They are also not all correct.
Might wanna check your source before parroting it on here.

Those numbers are very wrong.
Total defense: 27 ( LINK)
yards per play: 32 ( LINK)
PPG: 42
And scoring defense is the ultimate stat, and we were 10 out of 15 in the league. Stop trying to annoint this guy. This is the worst LSU defense in the past 8 years.

I believe our points per game allowed is high because of busted coverages in the secondary. We had blown coverages and miscues EVERY game this year, except for maybe A&M. Other than that, we kept every opponent contained (for the most part).

Only idiots put all of the blame on Steele. It was his first year and the DBs had to learn a new system. A DB can always get beat. What we saw last night was great and with experience, the D should be better.

We were 8th in total defense last year
Unless he is saying total combined yards, which is bullshite because LSU played less games. You have to go by game average.
And last year, we were 3rd in the country in average points given up per game. This year, we are 44th. That's unacceptable

For reference: the 2013 defense, which was pretty bad, finished 15th in yards/game and 21st in ppg
2014, which also struggled, finished 3rd nationally
Football Outsiders Defensive FEI, which adjust for plays, drives, opponents, etc, has us at #39 going into the TT game

Weren't we one of the worst red zone defenses in the country?
