Dave Aranda doesn’t speak much.

But Ed Orgeron didn’t need any verbal cues on the mental state of his defensive coordinator after LSU’s defense allowed a season-high 417 yards to Louisiana Tech in a 38-21 win Saturday.

“Dave is a man of few words,” Orgeron said. “Obviously, he’s not pleased.”

Aerial Bombardment: Tech picked up 330 yards through the air. It’s the most an Aranda defense has surrendered at LSU and just the second time a team has exceeded 300 yards since he arrived in 2015.

Pass Rush: The Tigers entered the Tech game second nationally in sacks but didn’t sack the Bulldogs until two on the game’s final drive.
