Over the last few seasons, very few teams have taken many shots deep against the LSU defense, and with good reason.

Do you expect the young LSU defense to be challenged more down field this season?

Or do you think the LSU defensive reputation will keep the deep balls to a minimum as we've seen in years past?

Teams have taken their share of deep shots against us, just very few have been successful. If you're asking if teams will be more successful with deep passes, then I doubt it.

That will depend on the amount of pressure we put on the QB. If he doesn't have time, he can't throw it deep.

probably not. i expect them to pick us to death with short passes unless we can pressure the qb and i am not sold that we can. imo, this will be chavis' toughest year and one in which we will have to experience growing pains with many players having to experience their learning curve. kinda like last year; our secondary was not that good last year imo.

Moncrief beat us deep multiple times last year with his double move.

Will the QB have time for a deep route to develop?

I hope so. I miss all the interceptions we had in 2011. That was a fun season! So many turnovers in our advantage.

I think a big play against the secondary now and then is possible. It happens when young guys forget their positions (think the end of last year's Bama game).

I also think they'll try more, not knowing what Rickey Jefferson et al are capable of... and they'll regret it.

I remember reading some insane stats on how well we defended the deep ball with PP and Da Clay Pigeon at the helm. For passes thrown over 20-30yds, we intercepted as many balls as the receivers caught. If the jalens can play half that well, I think we'll be ok.

I expect to see Pachall go deep several times if he can get the time he needs.
