Scheming, Not Screaming, Key to Defensive Turnaround

After a sloppy defensive first half against Northwestern State on Saturday night, the sound of LSU’s locker room at halftime was somewhat surprising.

The lack of sound, that is.

No screaming. Just scheming. No fighting. Just writing.

Despite Northwestern State’s 200 yards of offense, 172 passing yards, 17:25 of possession, and 50 percent third down conversions, LSU’s coaching staff didn’t adjust the volume of their voices or slam whiteboards. They just wrote on them.

They didn’t bemoan their problems. They went about solving them.

“Just a lot of adjustments,” said junior safety JaCoby Stevens.
