re: Opinion of the Defense last night

How often do we run dime?

It seems like we run nickel all game no matter the down and distance (besides 3rd and short)

Most of the second half chunks given up on D this year were down field in coverage against a LB with a huge lead. Deon jones and beckwith should not be expected to cover deep downfield in obvious passing situations with our talent and depth in the secondary

Some good things. Not the best LSU defense but should be sufficient, barring injuries, to contend

When has LSU ever contended without an elite defense? 2003, 2007, 2011 all had elite defenses. 2007 did have their bad games however. And all of those offenses had more efficient QB play as well (lee 11')

This year feels like 2013, fun/historic players to watch on offense, with subpar defensive production by LSU standards. 2-3 losses would not be surprising
