Ohio State, Clemson, Utah, Oregon...all near the top.
Total defense doesn't really tell a story. Buffalo and Missori, SDSU, UAB and Pitt aren't even close to even tasting the Top 25 ranking, but top 10 in total defense.
Because LSU scores so quickly, the other teams get more possessions, thus gaining more yards.
You would also have to take into account that the defense doesn't really need to put out so much effort with a cushion of a 2 possession lead.
This defense has only played behind on 3 possessions this year. That says something about LSU too
Let's not forget about the opponents LSU has been facing too. Facing better teams naturally means giving up more yards.
