I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on this issue.


Plant Bo Wallace on the opposing team. Problem solved.

Let's look at the times the LSU defense has risen up when needed.

2014 Ole Miss (forced turnover)
2014 Florida (forced turnover)
2014 Wisconsin (forced turnover and punt on successive drives)
2014 Iowa (stopped them a million times, bad calls gave them a touchdown, still won)
2013 Arkansas (forced fumble)
2013 Florida (forced turnover despite Welter's best efforts)
2012 Arkansas (defense held as time expired)
2012 A&M (embarrassed Heisman Trophy winner, still got a turnover on the final drive but clock only had 15 or so seconds on it)
2012 Auburn (got Tharold Simon'd on fourth down to close out a tremendous shoot-out, 12-10)

It goes on from there. We've had success, we've had failures. We've definitely won our share, though. That's what happens when you are in close games.

Good list. But how many of these on the list were down to the final possession, where LSU's defense HAD to stop them or the other team would have won the game, or tied to force OT?

Just a question - haven't researched this.
