You guys are supporting my point that rocky top has a good defense so naturally they keep teams from scoring and we did well enough that second half.
I agree with the rest of your point as well. We can't keep having entire dead halfs in these games and expect to continue to win them.
Yep - agree. Tennessee has a pretty solid defense, especially against the run.

I also don't understand an earlier point someone else made about LSU lacking the ability to stop the run. From what I have seen Stat wise they do that decently. What they can't seem to stop is the pass.
They are pretty bad against both. They are #105 in YPA Rush Defense (4.67). Everyone they've played (including Grambling and Army) (keep in mind Army does not run the triple option anymore, either) has run for at least 3.5 YPA against them. I do think teams have abandoned it as they've gotten into a shootout, so their total yards allowed isn't super high. But on a rush by rush basis they've been gashed.
FSU : 34 for 135 (3.97)
Grambling : 29 for 163 (5.62)
Miss St : 21 for 94 (4.48)
Arkansas : 37 for 137 (3.70)
Ole Miss : 49 for 317 (6.47)
Mizzou : 21 for 116 (5.52)
Auburn : 34 for 139 (4.09)
Army : 43 for 151 (3.51)
And that was with Wingo in there.

Another positive for us is that LSU does not rush the passer especially well nor do they get stops in the backfield a lot. Some bad defenses somewhat make up for it with aggressive play, knowing they'll give up yards and plays but hoping to sniff out drives with sacks/TFLs. LSU gives up yards but does not get TFLs or sacks.
- Sacks Per Game : #97 (1.75)
- Tackle For Loss Per Game : #87 (5.38)
Wingo is #4 in TFLs (3.0) and #2 in sacks (2.5). And he's out.
As discussed above, we should move the ball against them and score. The only team that is going to stop us is us. However, we have a pretty good history of stopping ourselves, and that causes me some concern.
