Why No Hating On The Defense?

There is a lot of anger being directed at the offense on this board, but little to no mention of the defense. Why not?
If the defense keeps Clemson from converting on 4TH AND 25, LSU wins.
Yes, the offense has troubles, but, let's face it: the defense the last few games was anything but stellar.
4th and 25? Game should have been over right there.

Prolly cause 100+ plays will wear you out.
Our D deserves a frigging award for the last two years. They have carried us.

Because the shitty offense left them on the damn field. Clemson had a top ten offense and we gave the them the fricking ball to many damn times.

4th and 16 after about 100 plays dude.

4th and 16 I'm pretty sure
They played 100 plays in the game, they were hurting and gased

You'd be tired too if you were on the field for about 80% of the game

If the offense was only slightly better, many defensive issues would not exist.

After 95 plays on the field, because the offense was the pits, the defense had nothing left to give. And half of them were injured or cramping. Can't put this on defense....

Cause some understand football and expectations?
25 fricking points while on the field 100 plays.
You really bitching about it?

Probably because they are on the damn field for the majority of the game EVERY game! How many offensive players did you see going down with cramps?
Posted on 1/1/13 at 8:26 pm to mtntiger
Our defense was on the field for 36 minutes.

Don't forget Mingo went down. 100 plays will take its toll.
Don't believe me? Did you notice everyone getting hurt? It wasn't because they are soft..

Cause the offense sucks. If they can sustain drives the d won't be on the field all game. See Florida game.

We had no answer for Hopkins. He ate Simons breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
They Didnt play bad, they basically gave up 25 points in 2 games last night. Boyd and Hopkins are good

And because the D couldn't get off the field, 32 1st downs weren't after the 100 plays.

The defense is the only reason you can watch LSU these days

If the offense could have not gone 3 and out about a million times in a row, Clemson wouldn't have had the ball as much. LSU's defense wouldn't have had to defend 105 plays.
The fact that LSU's defense held an offense like Clemson to only 25 points when they ran 105 plays is pretty good.
For example... Alabama ran 52 plays against LSU this year and scored 21 points.
With an offense as good as Clemson, holding them to 25 (on a last second field goal) while running double the amount of plays that Alabama ran, is pretty good.
Not-to-mention, LSU's defense created a couple of turnovers that gave the offense easy scores.
If it wasn't for the defense creating turnovers, LSU may have had a real problem getting points.

EXACTLY! If it were not for the LSU defense we would have lost multiple games over the last 3-4 seasons.

The defense gets a pass that's why. Defense is the only reason we weren't 2-9
