Moral Victory

They tackled better because for the first time this season, a team lined up and came right at them.  Exactly what LSU always does.  Secondly, their manhood was challenged because of what happened last year and the comments made and the media hype on those comments leading up to the game.  To their credit, they were fired up had something to prove. 

Some personnel changes also helped a bit in overall defense. Florence and Therieze got a lot of PT and Joshua Holsey took over at corner a lot, especially in the 2nd half.  He looked damn good too. 

I can only hope we see that same effort in 2 weeks.  Despite early suckage, our defense showed it can hold its own and they're going to have to until the offense comes around.       

Agree with this.  I hope that they proved to themselves that they CAN hang with an "elite" team and that BVG challenges them (and they accept) to shitstomp everyone between now and the Iron Bowl.

Do that, and I have hope...dim hope...for a win in Turdtown.

"elite" or "very elite"? I need to know the distinction...

I'm betting, at the end of the year, LSU isn't an elite team.  LSU offense is shit.  The "improvement" in our defense was as much that as anything else.

Hells bells, most of them graduate in two or three years.

Agree, but our boys did play with more fire.  I give credit to them as well.

Jury still out on LSU IMO, I was not impressed with them at all.  I think UF beats them and bammer kills them. MSU may also give them a run for they money.

Agree, LSU's not real interested about getting players "out in space" and their running backs don't have a lot of wiggle to them. 

We'll see how much the tackling has improved (I can't believe I'm saying this) when we play Ole Miss.  We'll see how much the pass coverage has improved against Arkansas.  Although my hope for Arky is that Lemonier and Ford send Wilson home on a shingle, if we could get to LSU with the front four and Arky couldn't keep the QB upright against ULM I think we have a shot.

I'm no rocket surjun when it comes to stragety, but it seems to me that everyting with LSU's offense is predicated around being able to consistently pound the ball.  Their O looked the same as it always has under Miles.  Big, athletic backs hitting you from all angles and then pop teh play action.  I think Mettenturder is not very mobile but can be highly effective if the running game is clicking.  Guess that's true for just about any QB....just about.  But AU did a much better job against the run and got enough pressure to make Mettenstache move and have to throw on the run.  Obviously not his forte.
