Everybody is looking at the defense wrong. Take the stats from the last three games and see what they show.

Army, 109th ranked offense in the country
Auburn, 98th ranked offense in the country,
Missouri, gave up nearly 40 to them

The defense may or may not be better, but to get this phrase

improved dramatically


from the above evidence, is just asking to be proven wrong

The 2nd half of the Mizzou game was actually the best the defense has been against a team with a pulse on offense all season. Their last scoring drive sucked, but they did a solid job leading up to that and then closing out after re-taking the lead.

I think we have seen improvement in the front 7, and that’s where our chance to win this game lies. Especially against their OL, which has had some notable struggles this season.

One more thing to consider- the best LSU played all last season by far was coming out of the bye week vs Bama. Sure it was at home, but the staff made adjustments and had freshmen like Perkins and Taylor ready to make big contributions. I look for some similar improvement tomorrow. We just don’t know if that will be enough as much as our defense has struggled and as young as the secondary is.
