re: The DT Fiasco Sitting at 0-4 (0-5 is a Real Possibility)

He's not superhuman. You have to give him help to work with. LSU is also contending with one of the hardest schedules this year alongside an offense that will absolutely go backwards from last year without JD/Nabers/BTJ. This season is honestly not looking good because you're going to be handicapped by defense again. They looked bad in spring and you still have Burns/Ryan as your last line of defense. That's kinda scary to think about.


They don't need to be great the defense just need to be average enough showing significant improvement from last year. I'm not sure how that will happen with the same players with less depth and potentially even more inexperience. I think Baker was a good hire but can he work with what he has? Guess we'll find out. They're pretty thin at DT right now.

If the staff shits the bed on this we'll just have to trust that Blake Baker & co will be able to scheme to help mask the issue

Thank you!

These coaches make bank and they know the situation so they’d better (and surely they do) have clear plans to work with whatever they have.

I’m just gonna stay confident your assumption—and some growth/improvement from the hosses that we have in fall camp—will help us win USC (please Lord let us finally win an opener again) through UCLA. Then the D coaches and players will have seen enough offenses to be flexible.

And hopefully the D is top 50? 60? 70?

Anyone? Bueller?
