    What say you?

    Justin Fields, Ohio State, 10 rushing TDs
    Trevor Lawrence, Clemson, 7 rushing TDs

    I say no. They have shown the ability to play well when they absolutely have too. I think they felt tonight was going to be easy. Hopefully they learn that nothing is easy... ever.

    No. Us winning or lose will come down to if another team can figure out a way to stop our offense. Our defense while not to LSU standards will be good "enough" for us to win a title.

    That said we better be bringing in some help because we need it.

    I’ve been a Aranda day since day one but I’ve never seen a DC not able to make adjustments like this year. WTF is going on with Aranda??

    We better pray they leave us #1 at the end so we don't have to play both Clemson and then Ohio State.

    We can't beat those two prolific offenses in successive games.

    I voted yes.

    I can't see us fixing our issues.

    Aranda can't adjust to some simple concepts like which Ole Miss QB is on the field will dictate how they run their offense. He sure won't be able to combat the best offenses come playoff time.

    So why did he decide this year he'd forget all the principles of sound defense?

    Anybody?

    No it wouldn’t be Aranda costing LSU a championship. This was not a typical representation of a Dave Aranda defense. There is something up. Whether it be fatigue or over confidence, or just laziness.

    Maybe it's lack of talent and depth.
