In actuality the defense was never "pretty bad." It's only bad in comparison to LSU D of the past 5 years. Relative to college football, they've played about average to above average.

Plus Bama and Auburn were at A&M.

No faith in Death Valley? Death Valley made them look like deer in headlights from first snap to last.

LSU fans should have been confident.

This.

So far this year, LSU has the second best D in the SEC west in points allowed behind Bama. We are all so used to seeing a dominating D it makes this team's D appear to be crap, but they're not.

I'm not surprised LSU won, just a little surprised about the way they dominated on defense.
