LSU defense cannot save the day

Four games into LSU’s season, the recipe for success was quite apparent.

The Tigers were going to have to rely upon their defense if a berth in the College Football Playoffs was going to be earned.

Coordinator Blake Baker’s defense had been dominant in the first four games of September. However, LSU had not gone against a Lane Kiffin-coached offense and a dual threat quarterback like Trinidad Chambliss.
