thats not sarcasm. 42% of the time, the opponent converts on 3rd down. That isn't good brah


The defense wasn't as good as it should have been, but the evidence in the stat book doesn't point the finger at a prevent-esque scheme. And anyone who has objectively watched a LSU game this past year can clearly see how horrid the DL was compared to the rest of the defense. Simple as that, brah, and thats the point. No one is satisfied with the overall result.

the lack of 3 and outs was mentioned. Looking at the drive charts for each game, I come up w/ the following:
Team - # of 3 and outs - # of possessions - Turnovers
Washington - 1 - 10 - 2
Vandy - 3 - 11 - 1
ULL - 3 - 10 - 3
Miss St - 4 - 16 - 3
UGa - 6 - 11 - 1
UF - 1 - 8 - 1
Auburn - 3 - 12 - 3
Tulane - 4 - 11 - 1
Bama - 2 - 12 - 1 (and a safety)
Ole Miss - 1 - 11 - 0
Ark - 1 - 12 - 1
PSU - 3 - 13 - 0

I may have miscounted the # of possesions or missed something here or there; however, the thing that stuck out on all the drive charts was the # of long, sustained drives we gave up.
