Half those points were in garbage time. I'd like to see shutouts too, but other than MSU, we haven't played a game yet where the outcome was in doubt at any point. It's hard to maintain defensive intensity under those circumstances.

Well, our boys better learn. Because slacking off, even with a 2-3 score lead, against tough SEC opponents can bite us in the arse.

I think the secondary has looked pretty weak. I'm hoping that's a lack of intensity and the lack of Jalen Mills back there.

This d isn't great, but even that 2011 d got shat on by wvu. TCU very well make the playoffs, their d is god awful.

While true, just bc we play backups doesn't mean we have to give up so many points. It wasn't always this way. There is a reason for it and we need to work on it.

My opinion: we went from a bend don't break defense (more yards less points) to a break don't bend defense (less yards more points).

We'll see what happens in a close game, MSU wasn't very promising. Hopefully Steele implements a dime defense at some point with mills healthy.

To be fair, South Carolina led us 3-0 for almost 6 minutes in the first quarter.

LSU has not trailed in any other game played this year, at any time, for any length of time, including MSU.

Three other games have been closer going into the 4th quarter than the MSU game was. If the MSU game was in doubt (and it surely was), then all of the other three were, too.
