Chew on these defensive stats
Posted on 9/29/13 at 5:59 pm
Posted on 9/29/13 at 5:59 pm
The Tigers have allowed 931 yards of offense in the last 2 games, almost half a thousand to UGA and 437 to AU. And almost half a hundred points to UGA..
The Tigers are allowing an average of 346 yards per game- this even after playing 2 cupcakes, a historically bad Auburn, and an unimpressive TCU team.
Statistically, this is probably the worst LSU defense since 2008, scoring in the bottom half of the NCAA in these categories:
89th- red zone defense- no ability to stop teams from scoring
92nd in team sacks- no pressure on the QB
109th in tackles for loss- no defensive line push
61st in turnover margin- no takeaway ability
Amazingly, somehow this Tiger team is still rated 39th in total defense, mostly based on playing the cupcakes. If we had started out with a schedule as hard as UGA this year (or 2011's schedule), this would likely be the worst Tiger D in the modern era.

That makes my heart hurt.
Good thing the pumpers will come up with their justifications in 3...2...1....

We gave up a little more than this to UGA. But I get your drift.

On the bright side, we do get Furman in a few weeks.

not taking up for the defense, but Malzahn's offenses at Auburn have never been "historically bad"...

Such a fricking stupid argument as 90% of every team has played multiple cupcakes. Hell, some top 15 teams play nothing BUT cupcakes all fricking year.

What if we played in Div 2? Or! if we played teams of unicorns? How would our D rank in those fantasy scenarios?
Our D sucks arse this year. Those stats are glaring examples. Why you're nutting over the possibility of them doing worse is a mystery.

The truth hurts.

I remember a little over a week ago we were a top 10 defense. Just look at the stats they said.

Maybe edit your post to say "half a thousand" there Chief. When you do this I might read the rest. Don't care for morons.

Second half of Auburn was sickening and I knew it was not an anomaly. People made all kinds of excuses, but the defense has been exposed. SEC is gonna be rough and the offense will have to bail the Tigers out in every game.

I been watching since the early 60's and besides the Curley years well maybe even worse then that. This is tha worst defense to start a year I can remember

Not sure why the dumbasses are downvoting you - it's the truth.
We should be embarrassed. Third and Chavis just got cemented into our rivals vocabulary.
And both Jalen's suck monkey nuts.....we really need some help in our secondary and I'm surprised Chavis is so reluctant to do ANYTHING after the last few games.

3 Facts:
LSU "D" isn't great as in the past. (Will get better.)
LSU played one of college football's best offenses in UGA.
LSU has the talent (if they can muster the "want") to win out!

If you really want to understand what happened to the LSU defense, you need to read Lou Tepper’s book
