I'm just sayin....
You did. But the defense made some critical stops when they had to. That's how I judge them.
Agreed. And they definitely get the credit for that.

Yes they made some critical stops... but until their backs were against the wall, they missed assignments, couldn't tackle, let receivers blow by them, and almost all night couldn't get penetration. But you're right. The defense played one helluva game tonight.
I'm also concerned about the D. But, in their defense, they've had a shitload of injuries and playing with back ups to deal with. Hopefully we can turn things around and make improvements.
I'm with you. I just think some of the criticism of the D is a little over the top.We’re just discussing the game beyond the final score. How boring would this place be if all we did was post scores.......
At one point in the game, Florida up 28-21, we were in very serious trouble of losing, had we not scored imo.
You are aware that the defense includes the defensive line and linebackers.The secondary isn't missing anyone but 1 player.

That was my point earlier. I had LSU as a 17 pt win over Florida.At one point in the game, Florida up 28-21, we were in very serious trouble of losing, had we not scored imo.
I think that's the kind of team we have this year.
That's what I can't figure out. What happened? We have 3 of 4 from last year at DB, but we have an almost sure 1st team All-SEC Freshman (Stingley) taking his place. And yet we look completely lost at times.The secondary isn't missing anyone but 1 player. Even Delpit is blowing assignments and missing tackles, it's more than just injuries. This defense is not good.
Neither can get any penetration. The secondary is charged with stopping the pass... The corners and DB's apparently can not do that majority of the time, almost every QB that this secondary has faced has feasted off of them.You are aware that the defense includes the defensive line and linebackers.
Strictly my opinion, but at times I think Aranda is too conservative. I can understand it when we were playing non SEC opponents and we had starters out as a result of injuries and other reasons. We are now into meat of the SEC schedule. It's time for the D to step up and start playing on a more consistent basis.Neither can get any penetration.

I don't know, I'm a huge Aranda fan, but this year's D seems much different than his first 3. You're right, we need to be more consistent.Strictly my opinion, but at times I think Aranda is too conservative.

That's what I was saying tonight. I had LSU winning by at least 17 before the game, it should have been a minimum 45 to 7 game. Then our defense was allowing Florida to score every drive. It became a drive per drive shootout until the 4th Qtr. We can not continue that trend, it will end up killing us.Strictly my opinion, but at times I think Aranda is too conservative.

That nasty aggressive proactive defense that brands LSU. Yes. Where the hell is that defense consistently? We see flashes of it from time to time. But just a tease
