Big take away is how aggressive the LSU defense has been... And their IMPROVEMENT over the course of the season.
Of course they're giving up some points, even committing penalties... But they're flying around. They've impacted the QB all night, created negative plays, etc. LB's are active as hell. That used to be the Bama D in big games.
Got to get back to making plays next season. Pass rushers and LB's. No more of this soft, passive, hope we don't lose defense. Offenses are going to make plays, you have to be aggressive and turn the tables on a handful of series' each game with negative plays. Get them playing behind the chains like LSU has done multiple times tonight.
The secondary is only as good as the front 7. Even with the penalties by LSU secondary, their aggressiveness has overcome it. Their D improved the way ours hasn't the last couple of years... Next year should be different! RTR
