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

I understand the arguments about the effect a prolific offense can have on a defense, but that might mean the defense is 25th instead of 5th in the nation, not 44th. I think the defense will play better when it has to, but all the big plays being allowed are definitely a concern.

this is me as well. i knew the defense would take a step back if TOP went up 5-8 minutes for the opponent, which is what happened against Vandy. They had 18 possessions. Im good with that.

That has not been the case the last 3 games. these are assignment breakdowns and lapses in playcalling.
