Good move. Looking forward to seeing what the defense can do when they are actually allowed to leave the field.

Baker is going to have time to coach the defense between possessions for the first time at LSU.

And when he doesn't, it will usually at least be with the benefit of another 7 points on the board.

I'm sorry. I'm an LSU fan and must ask, what is this term being used? "Offense"? What is that?

HurricaneCamille...that's that short time the last couple years when the LSU defense nor LSU special teams play. Most other teams, when on offense, score. LSU just draws penalties and sets up our punter.

Would be top 10 if they had any semblance of an offense.

That will pan out ONLY if Baker choose to stay…but he is very much like Aranda, knowledge and teaching-wise. Honorable man.

Great to seeing them getting back to the nasty and aggressive defense like they had in the past. A good offense will improve the defense. The combo should be fire...
