re: Scott Rabais (The Advocate) on the LSU defense...

It’s eerily reminiscent of 2011, but on the other side of the ball. In 2011, we all saw the offense start to spit and sputter down the stretch when Jefferson came back, but outstanding defense and special teams helped mask the problems, so we kept winning. Then came the SECCG against UGA and that abysmal first half without a single first down. Once again TM7 and the defense bailed us out and we eventually wore the Dawgs down. Every single person I talked to on the way out of the Georgia Dome that night said the same thing. We have to fix the issues on offense or they will cost us the NC. Of course it turned out that the offense was only part of the problem on 1/9/12, but many of us saw it coming from a mile away. If Aranda doesn’t fix the problems on defense, the ones he can fix this late in the season anyway, they will come back to bite us in the arse at the worst possible time.
