The only thing I noticed were the DBs playing up - almost on the line of scrimmage.

Against GA and the first half against State, the DBs and safeties were 10 yards off the ball and were getting shredded.

Was it that simple?

I also noticed we were penetrating their o-line a little more. We finally run a little delay blitz with Barrow and what happened? A sack for a 7 yard loss. Chief will bring them around, he's just working with a bunch of green players!

Hopefully chief settles on this back 7. It seemed to be the most effective:

SLB - Barrow
WLB - Kwon
CB - Tre White
CB - Robinson
Slot CB - Mills
SS - Thompson
FS - Martin

Louis rotated in there some as well and did fairly well.


ETA: Kwon still needs to be on the field every down. Even Matt Millen recognized that he's a play maker.

I know one thing: They put Robinson in on Nickle packages and moved Mills over the Davone Bess look a like.

They did it once in the first half, and tried Eugene at the beginning of the second before finally switching to it permanently on passing situations.

Just my opinion, but no one is going to burn these guys consistently. By that, I mean beat athletically. We just have been f'ng up a lot and guys are running wide open due to mistakes. Our kids are pretty close to athletic as we always have. The experience and the technique is where we just are not there yet. Hopefully we keep improving, because the first half last night was honestly an embarrassment. Just like the entire UGA game was on defense. Everyone knows we will improve from where we are now, its just a question of how much and how fast that is going to happen.

I'm sure guys like Clifton Garrett are loving the chance to come to LSU and watch Chavis play really shitty veterans instead of players who have actual talent.

They played more man coverages which enabled them to blitz on occasion. I thought they splayed well in the second half of the game. They are improving and will be ready for UF.

Let's don't get to excited, they did blitz a little but the main factor for LSU's defense looking better was terrible QB play for Miss. St. The QB's for State missed many throws in the second half.

LSU seemed to be more confident in themselves. However Mississippi State's offense is pretty poor as a unit. I said before the game they aren't good enough to exploit LSU's weaknesses the entire game and that turned out to be true.

LSU's defense played better. But it could be an illusion. Let's see how they build on the 2nd half.

The short answer we weren't playing Aaron Murray. They palyed somewhat better, but a better QB still would have scored at least 14 points.
