Bo Pelini's defenses will be SIGNIFICANTLY better than Aranada's, especially between the 20s.

Aranda was great at lsu, but the defenses were very leaky.

Not a fair comparison. The game was different back then. It's much easier to be aggressive when the schemes are simpler, your players don't need to think as much, and the opponent is not as likely to take advantage of aggressive play. I'm not saying Bo hasn't evolved and that the defense won't be better. I knew Nebraska was making a huge mistake when they canned Bo and believe he's another great hire for LSU. It's just not fair to compare Bo's LSU defense to Aranda's. It's not apples to apples.

I'm really looking forward to this season though. Last year was all about whether we could climb the mountain. This year it's whether we can stay there.

Offenses have changed a lot since Bo was DC at LSU. I still think Pelini will do great. Aranda had a rough start to this year but the defense played great at the end of the year.

Bo’s defenses became very leaky toward the end of his tenure here.
