    Depends on the offense kinda, but Aranda is one salty mf.

    Tied with 6 other teams for the lead, FWIW.

    But in sole possession of the #1 spot for Rushing Defense.

    FWIW is a pot of stale beans. First game stats in any sport are misleading. If a guy hits 3 home runs in the first game is he going to hit 486 for the season?

    He was there all game. Just look for the long dreads and the number 1. He allowed 1 reception I think early and shut down his side the rest of the night.

    This defense is going to be insanely good. So much defense back depth, missing Tolliver and Key and the D pitches a shutout and doesn't let BYU cross the 50.

    Last night was a very impressive looking D, especially considering several starters were out. One of which is the best player on the entire team. That said, this LSU D could be very special. It could go down as one of the best to ever play here. There are studs at all three levels, a great combination of youth and experience at each level. The strength is once again of couse the DBs. It's scary how much depth and talent that LSU has. We have probably the best DC in all of college football melding this talent into an elite unit.

    The important thing is that LSU is bringing is the size needed upfront to contend with Bama. While maintaining the speed to deal with a running QB.

    Should be for Moo U. Even if he is ready next week there is no reason to play him vs Chatanooga
