It will be a good thing if we are getting to 4th down a lot.

I’m concerned they roll over us like last year.

are you sure you are a LSU fan, have you not been watching? Our defense has improved steadily throughout the year.

Will Campbell will be Ole Miss's MVP with all the dumbass penalties he'll commit and the Rant will continue to jizz all over its own face at the thought of Will Campbell playing for the Tigers.

What about 3rd down?

I just take this to mean that very few teams are so bad to where LSU forces a 4th down situation more than every once in a blue moon

LSU’s defense is so bad it hurts

granted, but it's like when we got Et and Mett, our qb play had been so bad in recent years those guys looked like Tom Brady and and Lamar Jackson to us

Have we stopped a team that went for it on 4th and short this season? I don't think we have

We stonewalled USA on the goal line on 4th down in our last game

On the season, opponents are 3/9 against us on 4th down. That's one of the best in the conference. Only Tennessee and USC have a better conversion rate as a defense. Conversely, our 3rd down defense is one of the worst in the SEC

31.9%, good enough for 22nd in the country. Opponents average 3.8 3rd down conversions per game against LSU, good for 10th in the country.

4th down conversion rate is 33.3%, good for 16th in the country.

37th in ppg allowed,

LSU's defense isn't this horrible group like some of you want so badly to believe. They have one severe deficiency - safety. Otherwise, it's a decent group.

If our defense doesn’t step up, they will not see many 4th downs anyway

I hope we fake more injuries than they do
they really need to make a rule this off-season. It's impossible to tell if a player really has an injury, so they just need to say that any injured player that requires a clock stoppage to get off the field must stay on the sidelines for X number of plays.

That would slow down the fake injury thing that we see WAY too much of nowadays.

Hard to say. What does Our 4th down defense look like for the season?

Tied for the 16th-best 4th down defense teams have gotten a 1st down 3 of 9 times.

Tied for 51st on 3rd down defense allowing 21 of 60 1st down conversion on 3rd downs.

I think the key will be keeping them to 3rd and long then 4th and medium or long.

LSU's first down defense is tied at #37 giving up 91 first downs (31 passing, 52 passing, 8 penalty).

Technically not an “automatic” first down. Just results in one.

Consider fourth downs a step in the right direction. Last year we never got Ole Miss in a 4th down situation IIRC

If I am an offensive coordinator playing LSU, I would pass every down until I either scored or turned it over.

Has anyone figured this out.
I saw UGA doing this on Saturday. No penalty.

I know. Refs hate us blah blah.

Surely there is an actual explanation

Will the crowd have the heart to make it so loud every 4th & short turns into 4th & short + 5?
