re: LSU Defense

Thanks but no thanks on your definition of attacking. My definition is causing turnovers which right now I believe is up to 11 or 12. LSU is +7 in turnover margin, near the top of the entire nation. Attacking just for the sake of throwing a bunch of players at the LOS is useless. What counts is how many points are scored and how many extra possessions you give the offense via turnovers. Chavis grade -- A+

We had 4 turnovers against MSU and I think 2 against ULL. We got only 1 turnover in the UGA game and that was when the game was pretty much game, set, match to LSU. When I said attacking defense I don't mean just "throwing" people at the line of scrimmage. I see it as seeing a weakness in the offense and blitzing there. Not sitting back and waiting for the offense to do their play. I don't think we should blitz every play though. We have to stay disciplined.
I am not criticizing the defense, but just saying that we have to generate some better pressure on the QBs in passing situations. Overall, the defense has played well. They can play better and they are improving. B+
