re: LSU is absent of leadership on defense

There are many other reason the D is crappy

New DC and philosophy
Moving to 4-3
Having mainly 3 - 4 type players
No spring practice
Shelvin and KV left
Lost too many players to the NFL after 2019
Lost valuable training/practice time to COVID
New and young players
Having no elite linebackers
Having only one decent DE and safety.

Maybe Bo's D needs to be simplified at this point in the season. It's obvious they are executing at a very low level. Give them something they can actually execute.

In other words we weren't able to plug and play like bama does.

If we didn't have Delta bearing down on BR and had played the Mizz game at TS, I say we would have won by 10 and we would be 2 and 1 right now. This defense may be bad for the rest of the year. I don't know how Bo is going to fix the list above in a couple of weeks.

Improve 3rd down and red zone % a little and improve Defense 25% - we might win 3 to 5 games this year. We have already played 3 easy teams. The rest won't be easy. The drop off is real, I hate to admit.
