We have 3 long threads of A&M and LSU fans talking past each other.

LSU fans are saying that Chavis is great all game long until the final few minutes when he goes into "prevent" defense and gives the game away.

A&M fans are saying that his 2-minute drill defense is not a 3rd down problem


And to be fair, Tennessee fans are the ones that coined the term 3rd and Chavis.

At LSU it was more of a "Under 2 minutes left and Chavis" issue.

The 2-minute D is a problem that I can understand. With the exeption of the 44-41 Georgia game, most of the time, the offensive production was pitiful. I am sure Chavis' response to his critics would be that the defense was too tired to play man cover that late in the game and he went to a10-yard cushion to prevent his tired DBs from getting burned and giving up a big play.

It is still not an excuse. If the offense sucks arse, it is his job to make sure his D players are properly conditioned.
