seems like he can only coach one-half of good defense each game. this week it was the first half.

I was really disappointed with the D on that last long TD by Alabama. that was pretty bush league.

has the game passed him by? I certainly didn't expect a shut out against alabama. but still, he has been underwhelming.

great game, though. great win. not calling for his head but just looking for other thoughts from the board.

I think he’s started slow but made good adjustments. Do we really expect Aranda to shut down Bama completely? He called a great game yesterday, minus that man coverage TD on Stingley at the end.

He held them to 1 score in a half.

Besides a couple of busted coverages where we put our best CB in man I feel Like this isn’t the game to complain about.

This was a top 5 offense we played with probably 9-10 NFL players on the field.

I mean How often does Stingley just get burnt like that?

Even the first time it was because he wasn’t watching when the ball was snapped.

That one play TD at the end was pathetic. It’s not the end of the world if they score there but you have to scheme them in a way that makes them run plays and burn some clock.

LSU isn’t getting 2.5 million dollars worth of production out of Dave Aranda.

Defense held Bama to 34, well below their average. People unhappy with slowing that offense down are clueless.

Boat is exhibit A.

The game has two unfortunately for Aranda.

Much like the Texas game. The offensive coach adjusted and whipped Aranda in the 2nd half. Agaisnt Texas LSU did not stop Texas in the 2nd half.

Against Alabama LSU gave up a TD in Alabama’s last four possessions.

They had one TD off a punt return. That’s not on Aranda.

One time Stingley got burned due to a coach distracting him at the snap

Once was a fluke where he did not have the high safety help he should have had. Maybe the safety bit on a fake, possibility a slant. I don’t know but will have to watch again.

You take away those big one hit wonder plays and they did not march up and down the field on us.
It would help if we had more quality depth on the defensive line and could rotate more often.

So are you questioning Os judgment on doing whatever it took to retain Aranda? Are you also questioning Os knowledge of the game because he knew what scheme they were in on that last TD?

Really,

Stopped them when we needed to

So, go STTD since you can not enjoy a win over a really good team.

When your defensive coordinator is paid like a head coach you expect the defense to be able to get a stop in the 4th quarter.

Aranda has been figured out. He needs to improve and evolve but yesterday was pretty good.

Well, he did in games against UF and Auburn. It's not like we were playing an FCS school last night.

Aranda is working with a very average defensive line... no pass rush from front 3 plus chaisson.

Bama got 5 sacks and many many pressures on Burrow with really a below Bama standard defensive front. They rushed four most of,the time

Bama offensive lineman is very good. Bama offense is as powerful as the LSU offense.
Harris is as good of a back as we will play all year

What should Aranda have done differently?

And I’ll give you the last TD, I would Have had a high safety but besides that.

Outside Clemson last year has any team stopped Alabama for 4 quarters?
