I mean I get The concern, but I kinda Agree

This defense isn’t elite but it’s not terrible.
It kinda end up Playing just well enough

Yeah. The defense has been good enough to get enough stops and turnovers for us to win comfortably in most of our games.

The only one score games were Texas, Auburn, and Bama. And in all three of those the other team got a score very late that made the game seem closer than it actually was.

Just win, baby!

And if you are winning near all-time scoring margins, then it ain't all bad!

A 58-37 game is exactly the same as a 35-14 game.

if LSU covers the spread against Arkansas (44 points), the 2019 Tigers will have the widest average margin of victory in the history of LSU football - just a fraction more than the 1969 team... 25.82 point scoring margin

Are there any teams that play FEWER cupcakes than the 2019 LSU teams?

The point was, who cares what a bloated scoring margin record is. We play a couple of games against the sisters of the poor. Bragging about a 24 point margin when all of the good teams you played were single score games, except the UF 14 point win, doesn't really mean anything.
it's a meaningless stat that has been propped up against lesser competition, something every good team does.

2011 team beat the Pac12 champ Oregon by 13 (lowest margin of the year outside of Bama games), Big East champ West Virginia by 26, ranked UF by 30, ranked Auburn by 35, ranked Arkansas by 24, and SEC east champ UGA by 32.

Yeah. This isn't the 2011 offense, so we don't need the 2011 defense.

Yeah. That's YOUR point.

My point is that the sky is not falling when the LSU defense is at or near the all-time average scoring margin.

And ALL teams have cupcakes in their yearly data. You can take that all the way back to the 1860's.

This defense can improve, but it IS NOT the dumpster fire that a few Sky Screamers want to pretend it is.
