Matt House has transformed LSU’s defense, taking a unit that returned only 3 starters from a year ago and molded it into one of the best in the SEC. LSU’s starting lineup features 4 transfers and a true freshmen and that group has helped lead the Tigers to Top 10 ranking, an 8-2 overall mark and a berth in the SEC Championship Game. LSU’s defense held Top 10 ranked Ole Miss scoreless for the final 44 minutes in a 45-20 victory; held Alabama without a TD in the first half for first time all year and limited Crimson Tide to just 9 points thru 3 quarters (fewest all season) in the win; and held Arkansas to its fewest points (10), rushing yards (121) and total yards (237) all season.
