LSU vs Up-Tempo Offenses... Scoreboard
Posted on 9/22/13 at 7:16 pm

Les and Chief have consistently played the percentages vs. up-tempo spread offenses. Make them run 10 great plays a drive to score on us then do that 5 times in a game to win. Most teams just can't do that against us.
So I for one am not too worried about Auburn's 2nd half yardage totals. Scoreboard. That's just how we do it and the Win % bears this out.
So THAT'S why I'm not worried about this defense AND I think we have a great showing against pro-style Georgia this week. Georgia will be physically stronger than all our opponents we have faced thus far but schematically won't be as challenging. Execution not scheme will determine this weeks winner and LSU is executing well right now.

You should worry about our defense if they have to play 80 + snaps again.

I think this is a great perspective. some people were griping last year that we didn't get a sack or enough pressure on manziel. when you win, who cares?
it seemed to me that the gameplan for auburn was similar to the a&m game last year; contain. lsu funneled the running plays to the middle of the field and prevented a lot of big plays to the outside. auburn got some rushing yards but, so what?
les has definitely shown me that he has a good feel for balancing all 3 phases of the game. he understands what his team is capable of in each phase and takes the minimal amount of risk in the other phases. he does take risk but, for the most part, it seems calculated. the problem is that it's not sexy enough for the superficial fan/media/poll voters whose perspective is not always realistic.
les has won more games than anyone except for boise, all while playing in the sec and opposite satan. that's pretty stout. the man knows what he's doing.

I worry that they didn't do anything against us in the first half...auburn coaches made adjustments and we give up almost 400yds in 2nd half
