re: I'm fine if Baker leaves.

Of course they don't play top offenses week in and week out, but that is what I am judging Baker on. How have you fared against top competition?
Sure, UGA struggled, but they made adjustments in the second half and dominated Ole Miss's offense at the end of the game. They couldn't move the ball.
Oklahoma played awesome against Tennessee and their defense was the only reason they were in the game.
My point is that you are picking one singular game from each of these schools where they had a bad game. We have had multiple games where I felt like our defense was unprepared and outmatched.

How'd other teams do against that top competition? You seem to ignore that part.

Alright, i took all the yards from the game logs that ole miss, vandy, and texas a&m gained against sec oppponents and compared how they did vs lsu.
Ole miss averaged 461 a game. Got 480 vs LSU, lsu was 6th best of 8 teams vs ole miss.
Vandy averaged 434, gained 400 vs lsu, lsu was 4th best of 8 teams vs vandy.
Texas am averaged 442, gained 426 vs lsu, lsu was 4th best of 8 twams vs a&m.
So lsu’s defense was basically average vs these opponents, to slightly below average in comparison to the rest of the conference. With the talent lsu had on defense coming into the year, and the money paid to baker, is that acceptable? Ill leave that to everyones own opinions

Who fricking cares about yards?

You can keep throwing that stat out. Bottom line, our defense wasn't good against Ole Miss, Vandy and A&M. Three teams that should be in the playoff (I think Vandy has the short end of the stick).
They played great against Alabama. Again, I will give you that even though Alabama has been middle of the pack on offense.
I will not give you Oklahoma. Oklahoma is awful on offense. Not as bad as we are but they are putrid, and that was the only reason we were in the game.

Who was better against all three of those?

Anyone who understands its a pretty great predictor of points

Bro all you do is post memes and don't even argue any of the points. I just said UGA struggled against Ole Miss, but shut them down when it mattered. Ole Miss couldn't move the ball in the 4th quarter of a close game.
Y'all are saying that I am cherry picking but all y'all can do is come up with one example with Georgia lol.
I am giving you multiple games dating back to last year with Baker where it's been the same problem.
Inability to stop running QBs
Inability to get off the field on third down
Inability to get stops when it matters a la Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.

Wut?
Tell me which teams played the 8th, 11th, and 16th rated scoring offenses and did better than we did.

The offense lost those games. There's no helping stupidity like yours.

How'd they work out for Ole Miss? And I'm guessing Vandy most have scored above their average PPG since they had all those yards, right?

This might sound silly but this was a reason why I wasn't sold on him being our HC. While I realize Tulane won't face the type of competition weekly like LSU does it was odd that he never seemed to be able to get a handle on that. Don't know if it was coaching or the players.

I guess I don't understand the question. Any of those 3 schools can be beat.
ND is better than A&M even with the loss. Auburn almost beat them at home and only gave up 16 points to them. Texas is better than them. They aren't a great team by any stretch. I would pick a lot of teams over them.
UGA is better than Ole Miss, who is fools gold because they played 6 of the worst teams in the conference. I would also pick a lot of teams over Ole Miss.
Texas and Alabama are better than Vanderbilt at the very least.

Our defense was good, not great. We shouldn't be satisfied with that, not at LSU, not in the offseason looking forward.
We did a lot of things well, and we did some things bad. If I were to tell you we'd play great coverage overall with corners in position, our line held the RBs down and got good pressure, but the QB would scramble for 75+ yds and a bunch of 1st downs, would you be surprised with this defense? Do you see any room for improvement? Would you want that addressed at some point?
We seem to have hit the wall there. If we don't get the initial sack, the QB tends to explode on us. We used to have linebackers that would come clean that up, and that's when we had elite defenses. Past couple years, our linebackers, or whoever- the guys playing in space to shut down mobile QBs- have simply been not good enough. We either don't have the talent to play that, or those guys have not taken the coaching well. Or the scheme needs a little adjustment.

Ill cue you in on a little secret, good offenses score on good defenses now, and when good offenses are put back on the field after 3 and outs constantly...they have every advantage. Fatigue, lack of adjustments, etc. Hurry up offenses keep defenses in certain packages and you depend on some time on the sideline to adjust for next series. When out there every minute you just cant really show much new.
Baker is a good to really good DC, and will only get better. I would love to see him back. Unfortunately, you arent interviewing at multiple places if you dont intend to leave if offered.

Yes we shouldn't be satisfied with the 15th ranked scoring defense that had to carry the 106th ranked offense for... reasons.

Another dipshit argument by you. Not surprised at this point. The only way you know how to argue is to insult someone's intelligence, but really just makes you look like a retard in reality

You do realize that against Ole Miss, Vandy and A&M we gave up 480,399 and 426 total yards, respectively? Allowing them to convert third downs 54% of the time?
I dont care if they give up 700 yds. As long as their not giving up 700 TDs..can give up all the yds you want, as long as they dont score, who cares
