S&P+ Defensive rankings
In the advanced stats, LSU is currently sitting #8 in S&P+ defense while Bama is #20.
The difference isn't large, people are just pointing out Bama's defense this year isn't as good as it's used to being, which is a valid point thus far. #20 is a solid defense, but it's out of the elite category.
If you use S&P+ and look at both offense and defense, it looks like lsu is in trouble
Defense
LSU #7
Alabama #20
Offense
Alabama #2
LSU #67
One of these is not like the others

You are correct on this, and it's what makes most LSU fans nervous about the game.
But the asswhipe of an OP was too stupid to realize that is the real key, and instead chose to focus on Defense, which is LSU's strength. His ignorance clouded his judgment on troll posting. And as pointed out, he doesn't understand numbers at all.

LSU defense isn't that great statistically. Most people would say they're elite because they have three legit All-Americans and even outside of those 3, the talent level is high.
