Former Tigers like Jacob Hester said LSU has been forced to play more zone defense than ever before because man defense is too taxing if LSU’s offense is going to insist on these multiple two-minute scoring drives.


Sorry but man or zone doesn’t make you take shitty angles and not wrap up.

It doesn’t matter if it’s man or zone if Patrick Queen fills the wrong gap and lazily lets the QB run right by him.

It doesn’t matter if it’s man or zone if Delpit can’t put a finger on a guy that runs a post route in front of him.

Check my post history I haven’t went at the defense at all in over a month but I’m sick and tired of them using the offensive success as a reason they can’t be half arse decent.

I’m also sick and tired of seeing our Heisman candidate in the game in the 4th quarter against teams that aren’t gonna be bowl eligible because our 2.5 million dollar coordinator can’t stop an 18 year old running a read option.

Offense shouldn’t slow down. Defense needs to catch up. This lack of effort, complacency, piss poor technique and bad play calls falls at Arandas feet. He has to be better

100% agreed, on all points.

What's the difference between a two minute scoring drive, and a three and out? The two minute scoring drive is longer. Why is it that LSU's offense put up zero points, and had multiple three and outs last year, but the defense held Alabama's high powered offense under 30, while this year's defense barely held Ole Miss under 40, despite being on the field for LESS time?... Poor tackling, bad angles, you named it already. But people still make the same lousy excuses.

People are going to cover their ears while yelling “la la la” but the defense is a massive liability going forward.

I may be wrong BUT I think that Hester was basically saying exactly the opposite of what ur saying?

If the DB's r spent from chasing WR's every 3 mins with no rest then that would absolutely have a lot to do with guys missing assignments & tackles.

There's a reason that high tempo Offenses rarely have elite Defenses. This holds true in basically every level of Football, especially in College & the NFL. That can't be a coincidence right?

I agree. The ppl saying it’s bc of the offense are dumb. Ohio stare runs the same shite and their defense is number 1

The defense has the option of getting off the field quickly.

NO WAY can you blame the offense for what happened last week. The defense was well rested coming out of halftime and Plumlee just ran right by them....over and over and over....on basically the same play.

When your team is up 21 on most occasions, the defensive scheme goes out of the window. Pace is picked up and opponents are tossing the ball like crazy.

This is good and insightful. You should write articles on college football.

I’m Solo Cam on this though not as mad about it. While there is some truth to the excuse of the offense, it does not explain losing gap control and mental lapses.

Highest priority needs to be getting 3-deep 4 and 5-star recruits on the D line.

Every big run by Speedy Gonzales in the Ole Miss game was caused by Delpit biting on the OL misdirection.

Queen filled the correct gaps.

It is just that those gaps took him out of the play, because. . . misdirection.
