The 2023 LSU Tiger Defense has given up more points…

In 2 games (94 points) against Ole Miss and Mizzou than the 1969 LSU Tigers for an entire season (91 points). Below are the stats of the 1969 season who IMHO was the greatest LSU defense of all time. And the offense averaging 35 points a game was elite too in the days of grind it out on the ground style of football. It’s a real shame they were screwed by the Cotton Bowl selecting ND over LSU who could have been playing for a national championship. 1969 team is right up there with 2003 and 2019 teams in terms of dominance.

Our defense sucks. Badly.
But comparing stats to 1969 is just silly. Different game.

Perhaps more impressive is 34 points per game in the days of I-formation/split backs, 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

Silly, I can’t believe you took the time to research that one
Posted on 10/10/23 at 8:51 am to Im4LSUnTN
LSU 2023 would score 65 on the 1969 defense
Posted on 10/10/23 at 8:54 am to Im4LSUnTN
The 2011 defense allowed 158 points over 14 games

Stop with this silliness. That '69 LSU team was never ranked higher than 8th. The loss to Ole Miss ended ALL national title talk.

You think? I watched that 1969 team. They were mean, aggressive and would punch any opponent in the mouth (things this team has no clue or will to do) including teams we play against now. Still have 11 men on defense lined up against 11 on offense. They had two of the top LB's in Mike Anderson and George Bevan along with Tommy Casanova in the secondary and others who went on to the NFL. Relatively speaking it is not silly.

Let’s keep it in the same Century to make sense

How many receivers did that 69 team have to cover each play ?

There was lots of NFL talent on that 1969 team and they played with a level of toughness that this defense sorely lacks

You really trying to make a comparison of a 1969 football team that’s sad man
