Had a previous commitment so I DVR’D the game. So while checking on this board during the game I figured we had the worst defense in the country. Then I actually watched the game. Afterwards I pulled up the stats. Total yards for Vandy was 374. Anybody who knows football, knows when it’s a blowout the other team is going to get garbage yards. They were 6-17 on third downs and 19-39 completion attempts. That’s pretty good for any defense. All while we used backups. Hell, Orgeron admitted we started the first series with some second string guys. And by the way, we broke an LSU record for how many TD’s scores by a QB. But oh no the sky is falling! Some of you will never be happy.

I love your post. It’s the most reasonable I’ve seen since the game. We have panic fans.

We played poorly on the opening drive of each half other than that it wasn't near as bad as people are making it out to be.

We just need to learn how to tackle and we prevent 2-3 of those touchdowns. Idk what happened to the tackling this year. It's been bad in every game.

Why are you so focused on stats? There was obvious issue with stopping the run, tackling, and creating pressure: the same concerns most people are having. This against no real talent other than Texas all year too. People are worried about when we hit the bulk of our schedule if we’ll have the backbone to hold up.

You sure you actually watched the game?

I liked your post, but this "previous commitment" BS should get downvotes.

Our fans need something to complain about.

You know LSU is rolling when they are complaining about the D..

We had so many key guys on D out too.. The D gave up like 24 points in a game we put up 66 points. It doesn't even matter. They need to chill out and enjoy the insane win.

This is such a fun season. I'll take this over what we have seen the past several years.

You nailed it man. And as long as we keep scoring at the pace we are, I’m not worried on D, they will be fine.

I agree,at 4-0 tigers are averaging about 58pts a game.I believe our Defense will be ready and nasty when florida comes to town.

Our defense needs improvement and I expect Aranda will continue to develop it. Our offense is unbelievable. some fans are Les’Miserables, and cliff jumpers.

Good take. Hopefully you will say the same when LSU plays teams with real defenses like UF, Auburn, and BAMA where the LSU offense can’t score 50 points.
I’m happy winning no matter how LSU wins but don’t act like there is nothing to be concerned about on defense.

Uh, they took the opening drive 75 yards for a TD. They had 200 yards of offense in the first half. The defense did not play well.

Bingo. As usual, overreactions rule the board. Outside of bad tackling and injuries, I didn't see anything to be too worried about.

Glad both of us saw the same thing. Tackling worries me, but the run defense will be fixed once we get all our guys back (Chaisson, Logan, Lawrence, and now Divinity).

I thought the defense did a commendable job, especially when you consider LSU had second and third stringers in there. They needed the reps and they certainly got them. The only thing concerned me was the tackling in the secondary. Tyler Shelvin was an absolute beast. I hide my face when that pile fell on Divinity's leg.

Geaux Tigahs!

The #2-3s got a lot of playing time. This is building experience and it helps moral when everyone gets on the field. It makes the 2-3s work harder during the week knowing they might get in a game.

Down the road the #1s will have fresher legs.
