ESPN Names "Spring Overreaction" For LSU Football

A recent article from ESPN identified "Spring Overreaction" for each school in the preseason Top 25. Here's what they had to say about LSU:

Overreaction: DBU is back.
It wasn't long ago that LSU dubbed itself "Defensive Back University" and deservedly so, after the Tigers sent Tyrann Mathieu, Patrick Peterson, Corey Webster and so many other great defensive backs to the NFL. Last season, however, the Tigers struggled to cover just about everyone. LSU ranked 108th in the FBS in pass defense (255.6 yards) and 108th in total defense (416.6).
Tigers coach Brian Kelly blew up his defensive staff, poaching coordinator Blake Baker from Missouri and bringing back longtime secondary coach Corey Raymond from Florida. The secondary took its lumps against quarterback Garrett Nussmeier during the spring game but bowed its neck and made some stops as well. If young players such as cornerbacks Ashton Stamps and P.J. Woodland and safeties Dashawn McBryde and Kylin Jackson continue to develop, the coaches should at least have more depth and talent in 2024. -- Mark Schlabach
