BATON ROUGE, La. -- Few defenses across the country have been better than LSU at improving as games progress, and that has especially been the case since the Tigers’ coaching change in late September.
Just ask Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly, whose offense picked up just 104 yards and six first downs while getting shut out in the second half of Saturday’s 38-21 loss to the resurgent Tigers.
That was the second straight week that LSU’s opponent failed to score after halftime, leading Tigers interim coach Ed Orgeron to call first-year defensive coordinator Dave Aranda a “mad scientist” for his ability to counter opponents’ moves.
