The defensive line played ok. I give them a C+ They played generated enough of a pass rush to force LSU to keep in TE and RB's to help protect. They where 50/50 stopping the run. Sometimes they stuffed the RB, and yet sometimes LSU would bust a 5-10+ yard run. LSU converted most of the 3rd/4th and short by running the ball and succeeded often in moving the chains. So I would not say we were great at run defense. But not terrible. Like I said, a C+ for them.
On defense we have MUCH bigger issues at defensive back. Redwine, Dean, and Knowles are pretty terrible DB's and Rumph/Banda's recruiting and coaching leaves much to be desired.
