This defense is lights out. I love seeing the return of the hard hitting defenses like we saw in 2003 and 2011.

He has definitely been the man. LSU has the horses to compete with anyone, they just weren’t getting placed in position to succeed.

We absolutely need to keep him around, whatever he wants money wise, give it to him.

I was very nervous after FSU in the defense. It looked very bad.

However, I've been pleasantly surprised now that we're 4 games in to learn that FSU is a bit better than I thought, and our defense has come together better than I ever could have imagined after game 1.

Biggest difference: He is changing personnel as needed....haven't seen that in years.

He is benching starters for better players, makes sense to me.

Agreed. His defense has been really stout and not gimmicky at all. So far the players get what he’s dishing out.

He’s got them playing fast and more physical than I’ve seen in years. He’s been a stud so far.

It’s been a bit since LSU flew to the ball and arrived in a bad mood.

I think BK is the biggest difference maker being he hired Matt House. Out of the hires that BK has made? No doubt.

House is worth whatever LSU is paying him and then some. Defense looks great so far

Yeah, this is the best I can remember our defense looking since 2011 maybe.

They are such a solid tackling defense and that's so good to see. I love watching defenses where once a guy gets his hands on you you go down. We haven't seen that in awhile from an LSU defense. Even some of Arandas defenses while good still had some sloppy tackling at times.

I mean we played mediocre vs credible competition in FSU.

We played a subpar first half vs MSU.

We dominated two teams defensively that we shouldn't even be scheduling.

Let's see what happens in 2 weeks vs Tennessee.

We hold that team to 20 points or less, then we are talking about something.

He is. And there's a Tigerdroppings metric to measure this by the way:

No posts/threads about 3-4 vs. 4-3 and that we don't have the personnel for one or the other (or both).

That means us, the fanbase, have confidence that it isn't a flawed system overall.

In general, House has communicated what he wants and the players are playing within that. Now that sounds bland and generic but when players don't believe in the system you get defenders trying to do too much or make up for flaws in design (which is what we've seen the last two years). So rather than bland, it is a significant thing.

Lets see how the D does against Tenn first. This is the game that will expose the strengths and weakness of the Defense.
I was really worried about the D and secondary with all the 3rd down conversions in the FSU and MSU games and the huge space giving to the WR's.
I'm anxious to see what they do against Tenn. It will be a real test.

I like the way they looked vs NMS, but I’m not pressing the gas pedal on talking about them being a great defense yet. I need to see some SEC play first at least.

I like what I’m seeing recently though.
