For a few years now, defense has been the big problem with LSU football . Jayden Daniels led an explosive offense during his time with the Tigers, but the defense let him down during his Heisman Trophy campaign. Garrett Nussmeier experienced a similar problem in 2024 despite leading one of the top offenses in the nation.

In 2025, LSU seems to have fixed things on the defensive side of the ball. Blake Baker has emerged as one of the top defensive play callers in the nation and the Tigers have been very impressive on that side, shutting down both Clemson and Florida to get to 3-0 on the season.

Unfortunately, the explosive offense of the last few seasons is nowhere to be found. Nussmeier has been up and down, and LSU hasn't been able to put away its opponents by scoring points.
