LSU's defense has played at a National Championship level so far this season. The Tigers are allowing just 12.2 points per game to their opponents, which ranks 6th in the entire country. Despite struggling against Ole Miss, the Tigers still managed to hold the Rebels to 24 points after they averaged over 44 points per game through the first four weeks of the season.
