re: LSU defensive stats under Steele vs A&M defensive stats under Chavis through week five

The stats were gathered because on this board there has been, is currently, and will always be comparisons between Steele and Chavis. It's human nature, especially because of the way Chavis exited.
This is not a statistical analysis by any stretch of the imagination. It's nothing more than an observational view through five weeks. It may reveal some trends, but that's as far as it goes. Statistics are good to stimulate discussion, but remember the old adage:"Statistics are for losers."
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, I still hope Kevin Steele has more success than Chavis.

Not true. Turnovers in your own red zone go against that stat.
Strength of schedule is also a factor.
More importantly, wins and losses trump ALL stats

it's actually a bit funny how different they are. chief is gonna chief meaning bending and not breaking. so his yards allowed are high but scoring D is and will always be decent.
LSU is perceived to be getting after ball better this year and a little more aggressive but some missed assignments and such have allowed big plays where chief did a decent job and sometimes to a fault of limiting big play but at the expense of being dinked to death.
i have noticed especially early on that fundamentals seem a little better under steele. tackling has improved but maybe the youth has lead into positioning and assignment issues.

Stats are useful, but it's important to accurately contextualize them.
Oftentimes, people put undue significance on the numbers, while devaluing what's happening on the field (or, how the numbers are being accumulated).
Also, there are many important factors that generally aren't accounted for with statistics.
I think the main issue for Texas A&M is stopping the run, but it's still early. The A&M D looks much improved over last year.
