Then, guys away from the ball are far too often completely unaware of the man they are guarding. They are just watching the ball. So by the time the pass is made LSU is reacting rather than being in good position early. Often times they are late...if they react at all.

Your post is spot on and what I quoted is a big part of the problem. Defense is about fundamentals and having to desire to completely shut down your opponent. And one of the basic fundamentals is guarding man and ball. Number two is knowing what the concept ofone pass away means.
