An 800lb gorilla with a chainsaw for a penis.

Never thought I’d get to say that again.

And we have a real offense to go with it!

It’s going to be the best since 2011.

It was strange seeing a solid D-line after all these years

I was genuinely excited every time the defense went on the field

Haven’t felt that since 2011

I look forward to Tiger Stadium getting loud and rowdy again with great defense!

that 2011 defense went 3 deep at some spots.

that D is comparable to the 2003 D. which i think was the best ever with 4 guys on the DL that became AA's from the freshman team on up.

2011
PPG 10.5
YPG 262

2003
PPG 11
YPG 252

the stats were great tonight for this team and yes as of tonight WERE comparable tlo those teams. let's see how the season plays out.

I’ve never been so giddy to see us run Press Man to Man again. We don’t just have good corners again, we have some bullies.

Also shoutout to PJ Woodland. Smallest on the field but you can’t measure playing with heart.

PJ looks like he put on good weight in the offseason

Arguably better than the 2024 Ohio State defense? That team gave up an average of like 10 points a game.

Now we know why the offense struggled in camp. Iron sharpens iron they should only get better as the year progressives.

Fun fact : the last time LSU held a Top 10 team scoreless in the second half was the 1966 Cotton Bowl against Arkansas.

Our defense will make that Buckeye defense look bush league.

Well, a Mississippi State fan called in to the Bill King show on Sirius XM after the Thursday night game in 2011 (week 3 I think) and said the whole 800 pound gorilla thing about LSU’s defense.

This defense is the full subject thread title compared to cliffhanger subjects of years past.

Actually. I think I am wrong about it being baseball. I think it after the Virginia Tech game in 07.
