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

I agree the defense is not good right now, but reality is alot of factors are playing into it. Depth, injuries, lack of focus at times and some blame does in fact lie on the coaches. Look at each game we gave up big points and see that we held opponents to 10 or less that first half. You can say adjustments were made but Im not sure its 100% that either. We held Florida to 7 in 2nd half after giving up 21 in the first. A month off before the playoffs will absolutely be huge in getting this defense back to being at least respectable.

Also, Bama's offense scored 29 last year and 34 this year on our defense so its not the best example to use for a regression.
