'13 USC Defense
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:23 pm
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:23 pm
Here is a final season review of the USC defense under CP
LINK
2013 USC stats
avg points allowed per game-21.2
passing yards per game-214.6
rushing yards per game-120.6
total yards per game-335.2
sotal sacks-35
total int-17
total fumble rec-5
2014 LSU stats:
avg points allowed per game-17.5
passing yards per game-162.3
rushing yards per game--143.5
total yards per game-305.8
total sacks-19
total int-10
total fumble rec-10
the lsu defense gave up less points this year than usc did in 2013. that's obviously the most important stastic. it seems that CP specializes in stopping the run and pressuring the QB. USC showed trouble sometimes in pass coverage, but LSU seems to have more experience and talent in the secondary than USC had. thought these were interesting figures.
the overall picture i am trying to create is think about what he can do with all the talent that lsu has to offer. his 2013 D was almost on par with our this past season.

USC has its issues. Wasn't it on the tail end of a huge amount of sanctions?

Yes

yea that's what's more impressive. talent was hit hard and the DC at the time was able to utilize what he had to make them respectable and even top of the conference his only year there. CP would feel like a kid at Toys R' US at LSU.

Pac12 runs a lot of spread on offense so the yards per game can be misleading.
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:28 pm to SammyTiger
yeah had very talented starters but no depth because of all the sanctions. Not a typical SC team
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:32 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Well usc also plays in a conference with stacked offenses and had limited scholarships. Lsu plays in a defensive conference and has been a beast for 14 years

You are aware he was there under a NCAA penalty right? He had those numbers with less scholarships than LSU.

This. Even a great DC isn't going to slow down Oregon, UCLA, and both Arizona schools on offense every year.
We also have to remember that QB play in the SEC wasn't great this year, while the Pac 12 had several solid QBs that year. Not to mention the RB talent in the PAC was pretty good that year too with Sankey, Grice, Tyler Gaffney, and Carey

and he replaced the disaster of Monte Kiffen.
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:35 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Not apples to apples. He took the USC defense from 7th to 1st in one year. A USC team with limited scholarships.
He has a great history at stopping the spread. You don't become an NFL defensive coordinator without major skills. Supposedly a film junkie.
Seems like a homerun with him and O. O brings the recruiting and CP brings the coaching/strategy.
Eta- do the right thing Les. If Alleva makes this a money issue, force his hand or give up some salary. Ask Gerry what the right DC hire means in pivotal years

The biggest statistic is that his defenses focus on getting sacks and creating turnovers. When LSU can get short fields and stops via turnovers we have 2011 type years.
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:39 pm to SammyTiger
correct. plus PAC 12 offenses >>>>>>>>> sec offenses, by far
Posted on 1/4/15 at 1:40 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Wasn't that team hit hard by the NCAA sanctions on top of being a dumpster fire started by monte kiffin? If so, seems like a pretty good job on his part.

With our depth and talent, it's a home run hire.

i assure you, i love stats, but most of them in college football mean very little. there are way too many variables, there are so many teams, with such different styles and different levels of schedules, and we rarely if ever play each other.
you simply cant compare a SEC team to a PAC team and come to any real conclusion.
the main stats that i think sort of tell a story are TFL and Sacks, because thats about your ability to control the line, regardless of what kind of offense you're facing.
EDIT: for the record
USC 2013
TFL - 6.5 pg
Sacks - 2.54 pg
LSU 2014
TFL - 5.45
Sacks - 1.46

bottom line is he did a really good job at USC. good post
Posted on 1/4/15 at 2:55 pm to MastrShake
I was looking over some of our defensive stats earlier, and our sack #s are abysmal. Especially when you consider the DL recruits we produce in-state and bring in from around the country.
If we do get Clancy, that should change with is 3-4/5-2 scheme

Across the board this past year sec quarterback play was garbage
Posted on 1/4/15 at 4:24 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
He had to come in and install a new system (must be easy enough to grasp), USC was on sanctions, HC got fired midway through the season, and they play much better pass offenses as well. So much adversity to finish out as good as they did.
Top 50 pass offenses in 2013 USC played
1st, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 19th, 21st, 39th, 44th, 47th
Top 50 pass offenses in 2014 LSU played
12th, 19th, 23rd, 25th (ULM), 29th, 38th
So going by that, he did a ridiculously good job. That team brought back 8 starters on defense this year, and have fallen hard.
