1. Removing the Ole Miss game, which was truly an anomaly, we end up with:

    318.6 ypg

    Good for a tie for 17th in the nation with....

    Alabama.
  2. What about scoring?

  3. Yes it was...compared to our talent and potential. Play the playoffs like you ended the SEC slate and it won’t matter. The book is not yet written on this defense. I believe our best is yet to come.
  4. You also have to look at who we played. LSU's SOS is around 11th in the nation. The teams we played have pretty good talent as well. Bama, Florida, Auburn, A&M, Georgia have all had good recruiting classes the last few years. Not like LSU's talent is slam dunk ahead of everyone else.

  5. Delpit is showing signs of last years form. Vincent is much improved. The lines are disrupters. The LB are cleaning up the runs in gaps and covering the edges. Couldnt happen at a better time. My only complaint is we waste blitz pressure by coming in too close to the edge, giving TEs a 2 for 1.

  6. We'll find out for sure Dec. 28 in Atl. I hope our guys are not sleeping on this game, because its going to be a dogfight. OU is the team nobody's talking about when there are only 4 left. That's going to be a pissed off opponent.
  7. The D was not up to LSU standards. However, they are rounding into shape at the right time. It's beginning to look like the D we expected coming into the season. Stingley and Fulton are exceptional cover guys, they shut down whoever they're guarding. Outside of the first 2-4 games Fulton has been lights out. When rushing, Chaisson is consistently in the backfield. Brooks is going to be big time once he adds some weight and size. Overall, the D is peaking at the right time.

  8. We might not be talking about Oklahoma but you can bet your last dollar that Oeaux and the coaching staff is.

  9. They came through when they needed to.. And having an offense like we have this season took a lot of pressure off of them.

  10. Make hurts beat us with his arm and we win... The question is, how much holding will the refs let them get away with when he scrambles... If they don't get the bama treatment, I don't think ou stands a chance...
