Right after the game there was some knee jerk reactions to fire Bo Pelini. Now that I’ve had time to sit down with the box score, the only thing that’s changed is that the reaction is no longer knee jerk.
This is a bad defense. I mean, really bad. And remember, this was against a Missouri team missing its top two wide receivers. It could have been even worse. Sleep tight.
8.6. Mizzou’s average yards/play. Mizzou averaged 5.5 yards per rush and 11.6 yards per pass attempt. Mizzou averaged 14.0 yards per completion. They gained 586 yards, scored 45 points, and generally treated the LSU defense as little more than a turnstile, albeit a turnstile that occasionally popped the ball loose.
