LSU Defense - Third Quarter Stats
Posted on 9/19/11 at 3:38 pm
Posted on 9/19/11 at 3:38 pm
I did a little research on LSU's defense in the second half, particularly in the 3rd quarter, after half time adjustments. I'm pretty excited with what I've found. Oh, and if this has already been posted or discussed, my bad.
Let's take a look at 3rd quarter yards:
Oregon - 9
Nw St - 15
Miss St - 11
WVU - 220
Kentucky - 26
Florida - 71
Tenn - 40
Auburn - 40
Bama - 33
WKU - 50
We are giving up an average of 51.5 yards in the third quarter this season.
Florida had a 65-yard TD in the 3rd quarter when Mo fell down. Otherwise, only WVU and WKU gain more than 40 yards against us in the third quarter... and we played a soft zone and got beat on a couple of plays the WVU game. Take away the WVU game and we are giving up an average of 27 yards each third quarter.
I think it's a testament to our strong coaching staff and our halftime adjustments. I suspect it will continue throughout the season.
I'll continue to update this thread throughout the season.

Guess it takes them a half to warm up.

adjustments have been really good + we always get the ball to start the 2nd and our offense, by design, eats up a lot of clock

I looked at NCAA stats yesterday and noticed another odd thing.
We are ranked very high in almost every category as a team. But we don't have many players ranked as individuals. That tells me a lot of players rotating in with equal results.

this is insane

Time of possession for those quarters:
LSU - 32
Opponents - 13
A lot of it has to do with like someone else said, we always get the ball to start the second half and our offense eats clock.

This can't be true.
Les Miles and John Chavis don't know how to adjust.

I was wondering about the stats after halftime. It shows that after we see what the other team is doing our coaches fine tune the defense.

Incredible!
Partner that with the longest play that LSU has given up is 25 yards on the fake punt by NWSt. Since that technically wasn't against our defense, the next longest is a 22 yd pass in garbage time against Miss St.
Unreal stats so far. Hope it continues!

In addition, on the one drive of the 3rd quarter that LSU gave up points (Mississippi State's 42-yard FG), LSU committed 20 yards in penalties.
The penalties (including Logan's 15-yarder) pushed the Bulldogs up 20 yards to the 25-yard-line and into FG range. Otherwise, the point total given up in 3rd quarters this season would be flawless.
I don't necessarily mean to play the 'if this, if that' game... because all fans can do that to make their team look better than they are. I just thought it was interesting.

That is simply bind-moggling.
God help those poor back-country rejects on Saturday.

Looks like we need to start holding up three fingers at the start of the second half, in addition to the traditional four at the beginning of the fourth quarter!!!!

I think a lot has to do with the fact that LSU defers and starts the 3rd qt on offense and runs the clock down with ball control.....D is good.....

you take away the WVU game and our defensive numbers look like Alabama's
Pass Defense w/o WVU:
Bama: 129 ypg
LSU: 135 ypg
Scoring Defense w/o WVU:
Bama: 7.1 ppg
LSU: 9.5 ppg
