It’s easy to forget that the LSU defense played about 98% of its snaps in 2018 without it’s best pass rusher.

After K’lavon Chaisson went down to a torn ACL midway through the Miami game, LSU had to play 12 games without an elite pass rusher.

Other dudes filled in and had some success and while Aranda was always able to scheme up blitzes to get people home, the results were not the same.
