LSU defense is ranked 10th in the nation in scoring defense in the first half of games only giving up 8.8 points. By comparison, Georgia is ranked 5th giving up 5.5. It's only the second half where they struggle. LSU is ranked 74th giving up 14 and Georgia is 1st only giving up 4.1 points per game.

I would imagine the second half issues have something to do with possibly losing focus (since LSU jumps on teams early), maybe a lack of depth at certain positions, rotating younger players in for PT, or a combination of all 3.

Either way, I feel pretty confident the defense from the A&M game will be there for the SEC Championship which showed us what they are capable of when playing for a full 60 minutes regardless of score.

On a side note....Offensively by half there is no comparison between the two.

This defense now with Mo Hampton up top is a different animal. We have Delpit in the box, Jacoby, Chaison, Queen and Philips all shooting gaps and making plays.

Not to mention our two first round corners on the edge. Even Vincent's played well

I agree with Delpit closer to the line of scrimmage (not to mention healthy). Completely changes the dynamic.

Chaisson mentioned that he hasn’t been rushing a lot this season. Like it was by design. He said aTm was the most we blitzed him.
