LSU football’s defense hasn’t been as advertised this season.

Before the 2020 season started, LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron made a strong statement about the Tigers’ defense.

“We are so much better on defense right now than any part of the season last year,” said Orgeron in September.

Unfortunately for LSU, that hasn’t been the case this season.
