Do you recall what Chavis did with Tyrann Mathieu? That role Mathieu played was so damn aggressive. Unfortunately Chavis didn't get much credit for putting Mathieu in the position to be such an attacking playmaker.

And then you give Chavis a subtle knock on...talent?? C'mon...

So you want to discount actual results based on your speculation?

I just don't value your speculation, so the actual results mean more to me.

The game has passed Chavis by. That much is evident by his time at Texas A&M and Arkansas.

Pelini has most likely adjusted or Orgeron wouldn't have hired him. Time will tell.

I'm not discounting anything. Pelini was very good as a DC at LSU, 15 years ago.

I don't care. Speculation of a coach who hasn't been a DC for 15 years is warranted.

The response from recruits has been pretty positive too, I just wonder about how Shelvin and Ika are going to adapt, I'm sure Bo will be flexible though

The results that I've posted speak for themselves.

Your speculation is meaningless to me without some real analysis to go with it. Stating the obvious, like Pelini hasn't been DC since his time with LSU, is not analysis.

The results from 2005-2007? Ok.

"Real analysis" like spewing stats from 2005 like they're somehow relevant? How about using YPG like it's somehow the end-all of the discussion?

I believe Pelini will be fine. He's going to be a solid replacement for Aranda. I'm just not naive enough to believe that his defenses from 2005-2007 have anything to do with it.

Some "aggressive" numbers that might give you some optimism:

With Aranda, the LSU D averaged 37.6 sacks per year. More than with Chavis, but for context, the Defenses with Chavis had less opportunities. Opponents averaged 428 pass attempts during years with Aranda. 401.5 during years with Chavis.

With Pelini, the LSU D averaged 39.8 sacks per year while opponents averaged 415.3 pass attempts. So more sacks even with less opportunities in comparison to years with Aranda.

You keep trying to exaggerate the years, but it's just silly.

The numbers from Pelini's time with LSU is all we really have to go on. I didn't speculate on anything as you did, so there was no analysis needed to support speculation. Frankly, I don't know what to make of his time with Youngstown State. Things got really rough with Nebraska, but the results look good in retrospect. I really think Pelini has more of a DC than HC personality.

By the way, on Chavis, I think some people forget how well the LSU D played against the spread Texas A&M was running with Johnny Manziel. You start getting into his time with other teams, you have to contextualize that. But the Defenses were very good while he was with LSU, and he proved during that time he was effective in stopping spread attacks.

Do you not think YPG Allowed is a good criterion to judge a D?

Joe burrow can thank the defense for the heisman. the ole Miss game and before the defense as a whole was not up to LSU standards.Joe should have probably been out by the 4th qtr but the defense was never able to shut other teams down really until after ole Miss game.
