Shhhhh!
Don't compare facts with the emotion of an awesome article.


Actually, the facts accord perfectly with the article. Chavis said that the Tigers need to make improvements, but that they are progressing from game to game. And indeed, LSU's defense just had its best outing against UGA on the road.

You can't use some sort of ridiculous aggregate season ranking to determine whether or not the team is improving over time. By definition, those aggregate rankings incorporate poorer, early season performances (videlicet, the one against UW).

I guess you can ignore that remaining SEC teams on our schedule are all arguably better than any of the SEC teams we've played so far. At best you can maybe say that UGA is as good as or slightly better than Ark & OM up to this date.
But Vandy, Miss St, Wash, ULL????? please. The current, shitty rankings are based on playing some pretty crappy teams.

Man, you guys love to pump sunshine.
The facts are facts & the defense is ranked terrible & has played 1 very good half this season. Take the 2nd half vs UGA & stretch it for a full game and that's not a good game (almost 500 yds given up). You can't look at the dominant 1st half (which is definitely was) and ignore the poor 2nd half. Those are facts. And by your reasoning, the team is not imporving over time since the last half they played was bad & the last quarter was worse. Spin it any way you want.
