The LSU defense has been much improved from last season and is a big reason why the Tigers are 4-0 and ranked as the No. 4 team in the country. LSU has allowed just 37 points through four games so far this season, which ranks 12th in the country. Impact transfers such as CB Mansoor Delane and S AJ Haulcy have emerged as stars, while LB Whit Weeks and STAR Harold Perkins Jr continue to be elite playmakers. The pass rush has also been solid, racking up 11 sacks.
However, the LSU defense got some unfortunate news this week when it was announced that it will be without a key depth contributor for the remainder of the season.
