LSU Football Preview: Defense

The LSU defense showed improvement in Blake Baker’s first season as coordinator a year ago.

However, the numbers show that the Tigers were still not at a championship level.

Let’s look at the defensive statistics from LSU’s last title team – the unbeaten 2019 national champions. That Tigers squad gave up 343.5 yards and 21.9 points per game. No LSU defense has improved upon those marks in the last five years.
