ranked? why do you possibly care? rankings are mostly on yards gained or yards given up and that is just wrong. last year, LSU's defense was ranked #1 and I personally watched MSU and Auburn absolutely crush us. not to mention Notre Dame which bled us slowly but surely.
a football team has three components that work together in a game; offense, defense and special teams. by isolating one of these units you take the game played out of context and can greatly skew the actual result on the field.
it is clear to me that our defense last year was ranked so high (yardage wise) because we didn't give up tons of yardage to anyone other than MSU and Auburn but we still lost 3 other games and two of those our defense lost the game for us (bama and notre dame).
imo, our defense was mediocre last year all things considered.

LSU's offense was also ninth nationally in TOP last year at 32:58 per game. While the offense struggled, it did do a pretty decent job of keeping the defense off of the field.
