Alexander and Jean Francois being hurt.
If you can't at least slow down the run which has been a struggle since first half of MSU game than your in trouble.

Same thing happened when Dorsey and Alexander got hurt and before Jean Francois made his return.

MSU did nothing in the first half until RJF went out. Reason Florida had no trouble with their attack.

Yes while it did appear that way, I'm having trouble understanding why we are having so many guys out of position. I understand we have new starters, but this is apparently the same D we ran last year, and all of these guys where here last year. How can we have so much confusion from guys who've been in this system for at least 2 years now. Don't get me wrong practice and scrimmage doesn't equal an actual game. But we haven't had just a few blown plays, it been a lot and were still doing it 5 games into the season.

They don't call the defensive signals and they don't set the defense. Guys still looking at the sidelines and looking at each other has nothing to do with who plays DL. Either we have a coaching problem or a leadership/understanding the defense by some veteran players.
After watching some of the D players standing around watching the action I'm wondering if those guys have what it takes to win.

All we hear is how the LSU def line is so deep and so talented??

So 2 guys a little knicked up causes the entire defense to be like swiss cheese?

Drake Nevis has played better than both of them all year.

I think one of the main reasons is the fact that y'all graduated about 18 starters or something like that. You can;t replace that type of experience. The LSU team was sick last year. LSU has a great team with great atheletes but it will take time to gain experience for some of these guys. I think LSU will turn it around this weekend after that little wake up call last Saturday night in the swamp.
