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

Poor tackling, angles, and players not being in place to make a play are all valid concerns. All of those issues lead to big plays against the defense.

TRUE!

Can their being on the field longer and more often lead to the opponent a few more points YES!

but does not excuse the poor tackling and positioning.

We also seem to play the 2nd halves to "not lose" instead of playing to win.....
like Aranda does not want to be blamed for a loss so he takes no chances and relies on the lead created by the offense.

compare our leads at half time w the difference in scores at the end of the games.
