re: Not buying the LSU defense hype

Being a huge LSU fan, I still give a slight edge in D to Bama. Bama has the best D in college football and LSU is a close 2nd.

Being an LSU fan doesn't make the statement anymore true than if a Bama fan made that statement.

LSU D has contained multiple heisman contenders in Oregon, WVU and Bama and won the game.
Bama D let an anemic (comparitively) LSU offense score on them and lost the game.

It is no mean task to contain TR to less than 90 yards and worse make him lose yards on a not infrequent basis with one on one tackling. It is an opportunistic defense that doesn't mind giving up passing yards if it can pick up an INT or two.

With the game on the line ,why couldn't they stop LSU in OT? After all LSU managed to sack AJ - surely it is no more difficult task to stop a lesser RB in Ford and sack weaker QBs in JL or JJ?

The everybody is equal is PC crap for debates - this was settled on the field.
As of the 10th week - LSU has the better D than Bama.
