Does our defense get worse as the year(s) goes on

It seems to me that in a number of years during this recent "golden era" of LSU football that our D is dominant early in the year but can hold opponents when need late in the year. Even in 07 we were having problems with stopping people from scoring later in the year. Not bashing the D, as that's not the real problem, but has this been noticed by anyone else? If so, why do you think it happens?

It does. 07 D was probably the worst in BCS era for a champion to have.

When your defense stays on the field 75-90% of a game, its hard to be fresh.

wear and tear, schemes figured out, etc. Look at the production Bama gave up late in the year vs. LSU, A&M and Georgia...

that is just football and contact sports in general. It happens to pretty much every team its hard to keep the gas down throughout a season when you get beat up every game and especially if you lose motivation.

Dunkelman think of it this way, if our defense wasn't so great every year and played as great as they do we would be a sub par 6-7 win team a year.

Defense got wore down. The team didn't have the conditioning they did the prior season and the defense was on the field too long.

2007, 2010, and 2012 are the biggest examples of LSU's D getting worse and ending up pretty bad as the year went on.
