Two years ago, LSU’s defense was poor, but coordinator Blake Baker improved them to average with a decent pass defense. In 2025, they’ve allowed only 19 points per game and force 1.5 turnovers. However, recent struggles against Vanderbilt and Texas A&M exposed vulnerabilities to rushing quarterbacks, a weakness of Baker’s 3-3-5 scheme, similar to Alabama’s.
LSU’s strength lies in its secondary, bolstered by transfers like Delane and Halucy, and linebackers like Perkins and Weeks (injured). The defensive line is the weak point, lacking consistent pass rush. Alabama will likely test LSU’s defensive line with a run-heavy approach, and the game could come down to the passing game.
