LSU has played the 47th toughest schedule according to football outsiders, and the last 3 QBs they faced were not starters for their respective team in august.

I'll reserve judgment until LSU plays a team with a pulse and wins because LSU stopped them, not a delay of game penalty.

LSU has faced 1 top 50 scoring offense and that was MSU which is at 46th in scoring offense.

On average, they've faced the 75th rated scoring offense on average thus far this season.

They aren't facing juggernauts.

I'd hope the defense wouldn't look horrid against bad offenses, yet they've looked average at best against significantly weak offenses all season.

Yes, there were some scenarios that led to points not due to the defense, but there is cause for concern with this defense, and in particular their insistence on running in a nickel package so much. We rarely see a 3 LBer defense, yet we have a starter from last season on the bench while Thomas continues to play the nickel and get embarrassed.

Before that penalty, Tre White batted down an on-target pass to D. Wilson, who had been eating his lunch the whole 4th quarter. That was before the delay. They complete that pass, and the extra 5 yards for the penalty probably doesn't matter. It is a more mama me kick.

Bottom line- when the D needed to dig in, they came up with a play. Dak was just kind enough to give us a little lagniappe.
