Why does everyone think Florida State's defense is so good this year? They gave up over 30 points in 5 games last year, and one game over 60 points. What has changed this year to assume they are great?

By that token what's changed with LSU on offense?

Last year:

LSU:
Scoring Defense: 5th
TD’s allowed: 16

FSU:
Scoring Defense: 44th
TD’s allowed: 40



They brought back 40% more production on that side of that ball, which is why people think they’ll be good. But bringing back 80% of production that was average AF does equal a great defense.

Meanwhile, LSU was missing 3 of its best starters on our defense the other day (Key, Tolliver, Alexander), and several other big contributors, and pitched a shutout in which the opponent had -5 yards rushing and didn’t cross the 50. Not saying BYU is some elite offense, but even against average teams that is really fricking hard to do.

Probably checked out the last few classes on 247 before the game.
FSU may be the best they play this year, may not. LSU was better last year, but FSU returns more starters. I'd bet on LSU being the better defense this year too. We'll see


2016
Scoring Defense: -LSU 5th, FSU 47th
Total Defense: -----LSU 7th, FSU 20th
Rushing Defense: LSU 11th, FSU 19th
Passing Defense: LSU 18th, FSU 56th

Common opponents: Ole Miss, Louisville, UF

------------------LSU-------FSU
UF yards------270--------207
UF points------16----------13

UL yards-------220--------530
UL points--------9-----------63

OM yards------325--------380
OM points------21----------34

Thats just sunshine pumping from the Bama fans.They cant accept that Hurts still cant pass. So it must be that FSU defense.
