I am amazed how you ppl are so hypnotized by the performance in 3 games and ignore the rest of the season.

I would say last 4 games LSU played exceptional D. O forced his old school 4-3, rush with 4 play Man on outside and play safeties back. That is what Jimmy Johnson ran at Miami, even Pete Carroll, but you better have 4 NFL type guys on your front 4 (which LSU doesn't have), exceptional safeties, etc.

Kevin Steele was LSU's DC in 2015 and used 3-4, Miles then hired Aranda in 2016 and he was a 3-4 so from 2015 to 2019 LSU recruited to a 3-4 defense. O comes in and goes back to 4-3 with Bo and then brings in Jones.

When did LSU's defense start to play well again, starting with Bama after the 2 week bye week when LSU went back to a 3-4 which gives you greater ability to blitz from different angles with different people
