Obviously, you don't remember the bust after bust in every game that Pelini coached. I saw almost no busts this year and I watched every game. What I saw were a bunch of missed tackles and guys too green to be starters. For example, you can blame House for Speights missing that tackle on the A&M TE at the sideline that GAVE A&M a 50 yard TD on a 5 yard pass but that is NOT Matt House's fault. What is a "joke" is the hyperbole that the 2023 LSU defense was the worst in team history. MIGHT be the 2nd worse..maybe. But you can't SPIN 409 yards being more than 492. Retake Math 101.
Also, LSU's DOMINANT offense did NOT keep the defense off the field. On the contrary, LSU scored so quickly that the other team had MORE possessions than they normally would have because LSU scored so quickly many times on long pass plays!

One caveat is that the 2020 season was an all SEC schedule. There was no Army, Grambling or GA St to bring the averages down. Either way, both defenses were probably 1A and 1B of the worst in LSU history.

2020 is an entirely different circumstance than this year. It was a Covid year with limited practice time, and Orgeron insisting on shifting to a 4 man front with 3-man front talent on the team. It is honestly what ruined that year.
Add in that they got those stats against 10 SEC games and had tons of players opting out and it looks worse. LSU gave up 439.7 ypg this year vs P5 teams, and if you remove just the MSU game since they were an utter disaster, they gave up 466 ypg.
Further, as bad as that season was, they never gave up 700+ yards to anyone.
In the end, there was legit reasons for LSU to look that bad in 2020 given the COVID issues. 2023? There was nothing anywhere near that.
