Exactly!
This is what's being lost on everyone. Our corners played their receivers man to man in press coverage most of the night. Yes, they gave up some big plays. But they pretty much shut down that "vaunted" slant game we'd been hearing about ad nauseum. Additionally, we held Bama UNDER THEIR SCORING AVERAGE. I'm happy with the defense.

First off I am not even close to being in the "Fire Aranda!!!" Camp, but you can admit that the defense had errors in the second half without thinking DA needs to be fired.
We should have made adjustments when up 20 that allowed more underneath and protecting against the long bombs. That was the only way the could make it close and we never adjusted from our slant prevention scheme. Yes it killed Tua in the first half and allowed us the ability to have the 20 point lead, but once Alabama adjusted and started looking for openings downfield we should have corrected.
I don't see it as a massive issue but yes I would expect better from a DC the quality of Aranda.
I believe we will see the defense return to form over the next few years as recruiting fills holes in our depth.
I have no loss of faith in our coaching staff.
It's a great day to be a Tiger!

Cut his completion percentage on short passes in half. Bama had been killing teams with the RAC all year. LSU manned up and used linebackers to eat up passing lanes. They gave up a few lucky and not so lucky deep balls, but they made Bama work for every damn yard.
