These two SEC squads should be prepared for a high-octane defensive brawl.
is favored against the Tigers by 2.5 points, but that in no way means they should be slowing their roll with one of their biggest rivals coming to town.
LSU has molded many great defenders in the past, with stars like Patrick Queen, Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, and Grant Delpit all enjoying successful NFL careers, and will not be short of defensive firepower when they visit College Station at the end of October. However, they will have to be on the same page with one another, including coaches. Matt House, the Tigers' defensive coordinator in 2023, moved up to the pros to be the linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, LSU hired a familiar face to the Tiger defense: Blake Baker. Baker was LSU's linebackers coach in 2021 before heading to Missouri to coordinate their defense for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
After his 2021 and 2022 seasons were both cut short due to injuries, Burns made his presence felt in the Tiger secondary in 2023, leading the team in total tackles, with 93. And 2024 has been no different, with 39 total tackles through the first seven games so far, and only two pass defenses. Should Conner Weigman attempt a deep ball, the senior cornerback is the first obstacle he should be on the lookout for.
