Can't really judge the Chief in those terms. There is no way on earth that he had the talent at UThug that he will have at LSU. Two totally different situations, IMO.


People always say this. In 2001 the man had Albert Haynesworth, and John Henderson right next to each other, and couldn't stop LSU and the QB draw.

The question if more of a recent one-

Urban Myth didn't arrive down in Gainesfart until 2005, so I am thinking that year on, and no UThug has not had near the talent on the defensive side of the ball as LSU has had in that time frame. So, the OP's question to me is one that is not fair to judge the Chief by...

Tennessee's 2001 defense was loaded.

And Chavis got plenty of grief from us as LSU fans over never adjusting to basically the same play over and over as Mauck was ineffective passing that game.

Chavis is not the second coming but he is a solid and experienced SEC DC. And a definite upgrade over the mistake made last year.

Fixed? I hope. Better? definitely.

You mean to say Chavis couldn't stop LSU with two players on defense. Didn't he know he could play eleven men on defense?

If my memory serves me correctly, Tennesse was shuting us down until our starting QB got hurt, and some white kid came in and started running around like a maniac.
