The SEC's most successful pass defenses in SEC play ahead of WK9

Numbers only reflect SEC games.

As for Auburn - Ole Miss, Georgia, and Texas A&M have also played them.

Meanwhile Kentucky, Mizzou, Florida, and Georgia have played Vanderbilt.

Georgia, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Florida, and Mizzou have all played South Carolina (another struggling offense). I could go on.

The argument that Auburn and Army are skewing any LSU stats at this point in the season is just silly. Especially when we’ve also played Ole Miss, Mizzou, and Florida State.

That being said, our major issue has been rushing defense more than passing defense. And while I like success rate as a stat, it doesn’t always tell the full story - if you get stops for no gain or incompletions on 1st down and 2nd down, then give up a TD on 3rd & 10.. that’s a 66.7% defensive success rate. Unfortunately our defense is #11 in SEC play in opponent score % (on per-drive basis) and #10 on opponent TD %.
