LSU defense blasted on social media following rough 1st-half showing vs. Ole Miss
LSU had a great first half offensively against Ole Miss, but the Tigers defense is struggling, and for that LSU trails by 3 at the half.
LSU has 373 yards of total offense at the half and Jayden Daniels has connected on 2 touchdowns to Brian Thomas Jr. In most games, LSU would be happy with those numbers.
But LSU’s defense was giving Ole Miss anything it wanted in the first half.
The Rebels racked up 387 yards of total offense in the first half, and Ole Miss quarterback Jaxon Dart is having a field day with 242 yards and 3 touchdowns. Running back Quinshon Judkins already has 80 yards on the game and receiver Jordan Watkins has 103 yards and a touchdown.
Ole Miss’ 31 first half points were the most allowed by an LSU defense in a half since 1998.
Give Ole Miss’ offense some credit as it has been firing on all cylinders, but the Tigers’ defense was lackluster in the first half, to say the least.
Fans and media took to social media to express their frustrations with LSU’s poor defensive start.

I never thought I'd see a defense at LSU as bad as Bo Pelini's in 2020. It was statistically the worst ever. This one may challenge it. Oooof

Don’t want to hear #LSU doesn’t have the players when Matt House constantly plays people like Perkins out of position and got our DB’s playing 10 yards off. That is not #LSU defense. Let’s get back to press man to man and get back physical.

This for sure the worst LSU defense I've ever seen.

Regardless of the outcome of this game or any other one this year, #LSU needs to make some changes to get back to that LSU brand of defense the program is known for. This is embarrassing.

LSU's defense is a real problem
Ole Miss has 21 points, 232 yards, 9 first downs — it's still the 1st quarter!
Rebels gaining 13.4 yards per completion, 8.2 yards per rush.

WIDE OPEN. ARE YOU SERIOUS?
This is the worst defense in #LSU history. An absolute disgrace.
