So was LSU's defense really this bad last year?

Wake Forest is ahead of Bama, Georgia, and LSU and yet they LOST to ULM last season.

I can't help but notice the box that says "DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS".

Exactly how many championships has Virginia Tech won over the last three years?

Is it wrong for me to now feel depressed at the thought of us almost hiring Bob Shoop? To think what could have been...

Stats means little. Chavis had good stats but terrible defense when it counted.

So what about conversions on 1st and 2nd down?

3rd down killed LSU many a time while Chavis was there ; remember Alabama? Zone defense and no pass rush! Just couldn't get anyone off the field in the clutch. Thank God the Ole Miss QB was totally stupid!

Nothing is more frustrating to watch than converted third and longs.



Let's see an end to that trend.

The Miss St & Auburn game really screwed up our statistics. The defense last year was good. But I wouldn't call it elite.

All teams should have just knelt down on 1st and 2nd down last year against the ALMIGHTY Chavis

The chart in the OP uses a 3-year average, and besides, it has LSU 15th in the country in 3rd down %.
