LSU looked pretty damn good to me on offense when Etling and SE took over year before last. Did they not?

Here are the defensive rankings of the teams that LSU played after the coaching change.

Missouri: #112 rushing defense - #116 overall
Southern Miss" #41 rushing defense - #14 overall
Ole Miss: #119 rushing defense - #108 overall
Alabama: #1 rushing defense - #2 overall
Arkansas: #93 rushing defense - #74 overall
Florida: #35 rushing defense - #6 overall
Texas A&M: #74 rushing defense - #89 overall
Louisville: # 9 in both rushing and overall rankings

They crushed those defenses that were in the bottom 2/3 of the defensive rankings. They played a good Louisville defense but Louisville entered the bowl game on a 2 game losing streak where they gave up 36 points to Houston and 41 points to Kentucky. So it was a good win, but the Louisville defense was definitely struggling when the bowl game was played.

Southern Mississippi had a good defense ranking but if you were to look at their schedule, it's no wonder they were that high.

The two losses were at the hands of two very good defenses, #2 and #6 but only scored 10 points combined in those losses.

So that's what 2016 looks like. Hopefully we get to play 9 or 10 teams this coming season that will be ranked towards the bottom of the barrel defensively.
