Just because LSU is scoring quickly does not mean that opponents are getting more possessions.


You haven’t looked at the numbers. Opponents are getting on average, six more possessions a game.

Maybe if our defense slowed them down a little bit, as they have in years past, they wouldn’t get so many possessions

Opponents aren't getting more time on the field than they ever have. So how does that compute to more possessions?

When your offense is putting up 50 and 60 points, they are giving the defense more than enough rest, even if they are a quick strike offense. LSU's struggles with tackling start from the beginning on through the end of these last three games. So fatigue is not the issue.

So it should be a realistic expectation that with all the extra reps, our defense should improve dramatically as the season progresses.

Our defense has been on the field for exactly the same number of plays as Auburn's defense, 272 plays. Bama's defense has played 267 snaps. Stop blaming the offense. The problem is missed tackles and blown assignments.....(eta) and injuries.
