LSU is last in the league 23/23 times in the red zone, the opponent has scored. However, as suspected, they have also allowed the fewest trips in to the red zone. the next fewest trips in to the red zone allowed is 28 by both TN and Bama, who have both allowed the opponent to score 25 times each.

Stealing my stats? :p

Once again I am not picking on their D per se, so much as saying I would not want him as head coach. Last I checked they were supposed to be really good. What he has done is not F the situation up other than the UK game, as I said, not shooting for good next time.

ah, i'd rather do that than work anyway.:)

and i think Bo is a good coach, he'll get a shot somewhere. would he be a good fit at TN? i dunno, but i'd have a hard time thinking he wouldn't/shouldn't at least be on the list.

so you don't have anyone better? Good call allvol. Good call. I'm not being defensive, I'm just asking. and evidently you can't answer.

Good call on what? Why do I have to have a better choice in mind to say I don't want that choice.

they're number 1 in almost every statistical category in the SEC. How is that "just good"?

Except for that one where they are 12th. Again, let me emphasize the part about me never calling them bad. Just don't want him.

but you can't name one possible replacement that's better. and we already debunked the importance of the one where they are 12th. To further debunk however, they are 2nd in the scoring defense overall. So great, congratulations, if you get inside the twenty, you have a great chance of scoring. The problem is, can you get there?

that's fine, but i'd hardly say he's just not f'd it up.

if they were 3rd or 4th in the leauge in all that, i might agree with your assessment of "good" not "great".

but the fact that they lead the league in all those categories is impressive, cause to me those are the stats that matter. it's not just that they allow the fewest yards or whatever....what they do is what defense is supposed to do:
1. Prevent the other team from scoring
2. get the ball back for your offense

and they do it better than anyone else in the league. :thumbsup:

which other defense in the SEC is worth even a small piece of sh*t?

well.. then.

They are only giving up 65 yards on the ground and 168 yards through the air. No matter how you look at it, those are some d*** good stats.

that might matter if defenses were playing against each other. they're not.

they are however, playing against virtually the same offenses week in and week out and thus far, no one has defended those offenses better than LSU in what matters most, as stated previously.

I think they have a very good D, but it has underachieved. Slice it how you wish, but allowing UK to come back in that ballgame was just poor.

Back to the point, being best D in the SEC this year is comparable to the similar PAC-10 award.

And this would make him a good choice for UT head coach?

so now LSU's d is no better than the best Pac 10 d.

ok.:thumbsup:

exactly jakez. It should also be pointed out that Auburn is statistically the second best D. They are giving up over 60 more yards per game. Ironically, Vandy is third, giving up almost 90 more yards per game. Slice it how you wish, your point is valid, but the numbers LSU can show is still impressive, no matter how the other defensive look.

If you really want to get down to what matters then it is W's and L's. LSU should not have gotten beat by UK.
