LSU #50 Rush Defense - the missing link
Posted on 10/29/09 at 9:17 pm

I'm surprised at the number (127 rush yards allowed per game). Our inability to get sacks is hurting our rush defense ranks. We have 9 sacks (4 vs. Aub) for 65 yards lost. Ranks 99th in the country in sack defense. Compared to our next significant opponent - they have 23 sacks and 174 yards lost.
Getting sacks not only delete rushing yards, but they put the offense in passing situations. Spiral effect.
Bottom line: we need to put John Parker McElroy on his tail. Can someone please get the word to Les and company?

Still 4th in the conference, which is all that matters. As it compares to Alabama, Tennessee is the best they've faced and they kept the ground game in check.

It's not irrelevant that our D is improving every week.

We are #32 in rush defense YPC, and #3 in the SEC.

Right next to Tiger Stadium is this big building which is comprised of lots of offices and stuff. Why don't you mosey on over there...announce your arrival to the folks at the front desk...and when they buzz you through to 'the mans' office you can explain to him what he and Chavis have so obviously missed...after you have successfuly removed 'the mans' foot from your arse you will then be able to return to your cave.

Those stats are from entire season.
We are not the same defense now, that we were then.
Irrelevent distinction.
