this is interesting. I can't get the teams to line up with the numbers, sorry. Maybe a moderator can do it. Against top 15 opponents last year this is what LSU did defensively: auburn Georgia Florida Iowa avg PHP: Pass D 157 209 142 287 198 Run D 170 221 94 47 133 Total D 301 430 236 334 325 Points 10 45 21 30 26.5 This year ASU Tenn avg PHP: Pass D 461 250 355 Run D 99 70 84 Total D 560 320 440 Points 31 30 30.5 Whats to learn? 1. run D is considerably better than last year, especially since Tenn is a run first team. 2. total D is averaging giving up more than 100 yards per game compared to last year. 3. Pass D well enough said. 4. We give up 4 more points per game. At least not all negative and in my opinion not worth calling for Miles firing yet. If he keeps blaming the players instead of his staff, my opinion will probably quickly change.
When you post "reasonable facts" (and NO 2 games into the season is NOT reasonable), then I'll listen.....
Where'd you get these from? You need to enclose those numbers in the "code" tag so they'll line up. They are hard to read like that.
Atleast this is more relevant that that other post with stats. You also have to consider last year didn't involve 2 hurricanes, 3 games altered and a new coaching staff.
Ya think??? :dis::dis::dis::dis::thumb: Stats like this will mean a helluva lot more after our players and staff aren't operating in the aftermath of such events.
I wouldn't say we're 'better' at run D. Our 2 opponents just didn't run it much because they didn't need to. Remember who created those stats: Caddillac, Ronnie Brown, Danny Ware, and Ciatrick Fason. Those are all prime RBs. Much better than the 2 we've faced (I'm not sold on Riggs).
Uhhhh, hate to break it to you, but Tennessee scored 30 points v. LSU. If, in fact, the Vols had scored 21, LSU fans would not be quite as upset as they are, since that would mean that LSU's record would be 2-0 and not 1-1. So, the defense's scoring average is 30.5 points per game, not 26. Class dismissed.
yeah, I messed up with the Tenn. score because I was trying to line up the numbers and mistyped and didn't catch it. Well it looks like defense gives up more points than I thought.
