2011 had nothing to do with QB. LSU had the second best defense of the BCS era after 2011 Bama, so JJ didn't have to be great.

I will always believe that the LSU 2011 defense was the better one that year, because they did two things Bama's didn't:

1. Face a top-40 offense (Oregon & WVU)
2. Get Jordan Jefferson to a National Title game.
