In 1999, Mississippi State allowed just 121 points in 8 SEC games. That's 15.1 points per game. To put that into perspective, only a few teams have equaled or bettered that number in recent years:
2009 Alabama and Florida
2011 Alabama and LSU
2012 Florida and Alabama
2013 Alabama
2016 Alabama
2017 Alabama and Georgia
2018 Mississippi State
2019 Georgia
2021 Georgia (thus far)
At USC in 87' his defense gave up 11.75 points per game. Only 3 teams scored more than 15 points and they were ranked
#2
#2
#7 (LSU)
impressive to say the least

Joe Lee definitely got it done when he had the right players to do it. Unfortunately, I also think he eventually got figured out and that's the biggest reason he flamed out.
There are schools out there running versions of JLD's defense today (State with Arnett is one of them). But they are far more multiple with their looks and disguises than JLD was, and much more strategic with pressure.
