LSU Football: Why The Tiger Defense Will Dominate West Virginia Mountaineers
This Saturday will see a match up of ranked teams as No. 23 West Virginia travels to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge to take on No. 15 LSU.
The story of this game will be the high-powered offense of West Virginia against the relentless defense of LSU.
The Mountaineers are averaging over 150 yards rushing and 250 yards passing per game. The LSU defense is tied for third in the nation in sacks with 11 and ninth in interceptions with five. Overall, the LSU defense has been stout, ranked fifth in the nation.
West Virginia’s offense is undoubtedly good with tons of speed and experience. However, they have not seen anything remotely close to LSU’s defense this season and will be in for a real surprise when they see linebackers that run like corners and defensive lineman that blow up offensive lineman.
The Tiger defense is built for the SEC and high caliber offenses. Defensive coordinator JohnChavis is doing a good job, with the exception of the second half of the UNC game, of sending different looks and blitz packages to keep offenses scrambling.
Tiger defensive linemen are living in opposing teams’ backfields and causing mass destruction. Chavis is also not afraid to send a corner or safety blitz on third down and other key moments.
