The Tiger Defense

When we say this Tigers defense is very good it isn’t just lip service. This Tigers defense has been pivotal in the LSU wins this season and their numbers speak for themselves. So far thru four games the Tigers have allowed 1,341 yards of offense with 976 coming thru the air but allowing just 365 yards on the ground. The Orgeron defense has created 9 takeaways with 6 INTs 2 of which were returned for scores.
