Bo to LSU?

Where did LSUs old D coordinator go? Wasn’t he the the guy that bolted from Wisconsin?

Yep, Aranda is the head coach at Baylor now.

The championship game is number 9. And I think every team gets to play a 9th game against the team from the other division with the same rank.... or did I mess that up?

You're missing the obvious.

SEC's defenses as a whole have been underachieving.

Oh sorry. Yeah that first game loss is going to be embarrassing. Funny that I never considered it. 
Edit: I literally had to think about this for a few minutes before I figured it out. Dense or just practical?

Thanks. Baylor has never had a defense. It will be interesting to see if they end up with a good one.

So switching from 3-4 to 4-3 while losing 10 guys on your guys on defense (6 to draft) is easy to overcome?  Also having no practice time.  

This excuse has already been refuted successfully

My favorite part is where Miss St got shut out on offense and had less than 300 yards of total offense against winless Kentucky.

And threw 6 picks.

Only 5 days until they play Florida.

Baylor actually started to put together a pretty good defense under Matt Ruhle before he left for Carolina and it'll be interesting to see if Aaranda can keep things going.  It was definitely a vast improvement over the Briles days where it seemed like whoever had the ball last won.

Baylor had a good defense in the 1990s, which to Husker fans is still pretty relevant so...

Wonder how this conversation went? Nice to hear a coach not hide behind "the scheme was great, we just didn't execute."

Orgeron said he told Pelini, the former Nebraska head coach who was brought in to replace Dave Aranda this offseason, to simplify the defense.

Aranda hired Ron Roberts as his DC.  Roberts was Aranda & Pete Goldings mentor. among others  Saban has poached several of his assistants over the years.  He's up there in age, but I agree, it's going to be interesting to see how he & Aranda handle the wide open Big 12.

Pelini might get an out.
