Bro just bragged about scoring your first and only TD with 2 minutes left in the 3rd

Okay. What about the other 3 years of results from Baker's defenses in key moments?
Last year caused a lot of confirmation bias as well. The offense was so bad that the defense was in "key moments" the entire game, eventually you'll give up some plays.
The 2024 defense was solid, but not great or anything.

He tried that in Kentucky game and it cost them.
I think they sat back a little soft on the final Kentucky drive, mostly because Minchey hadn't been passing that well. Definitely a mistake in retrospect.
The defense wasn't trash vs Kentucky though, they gave up 20 points in regulation despite Kentucky getting the ball twice in LSU's territory. And one of those touchdowns came from a bust on the 77 yard run on the first drive. Keys misplayed the gap, Dottery tripped, and it was off to the races.

Here is what I wrote in another thread:
It has happened in every loss this season.
Against Ole Miss, we tied the game late. Defense had an opportunity to get the ball back for us and give us a chance to win.
Nope. Allowed a TD instead, and an embarrassing two point conversion resulting from multiple offsides.
Against Kentucky, we were up three late and the defense had the chance to close out the game. Nope. Allowed the tying FG. Then in OT we go up a TD. Another chance for the defense to win the game. Nope. TD allowed. Then they have a third chance on the two point conversion and part like the Red Sea.
Tonight, we go up 13-10 near the end of 3Q. A stop would give us massive momentum and a chance to build a double digit lead. Nope. Allow a 60 yard pass immediately. Then allow a 3rd and 9 conversion, to a running QB of course. Then a TD on a blown coverage.
After the punt return inside our territory, D has a chance to hold them to FG and keep us in game six down. Nope, immediate TD.
I'm not excusing the offensive and special teams play tonight, by any stretch, but I have little faith in the D because they have repeatedly faltered in key moments with the game on the line. That's a fact.

That's definitely the problem with this team. Super talented and stats back it up but when it comes to clutch time they truly suck.
