How do you go from an insane/exciting/high scoring offense and one of the most horrible defenses ever to a boring/not exciting/low scoring offense and a surprisingly good defense in one season

Comparatively to last year when they could casually score 40 points and lose, I'd say it's a lot more boring!

it looks like the only real difference is that they aren't running the ball nearly as well. I was pretty surprised with how strong their passing numbers actually are

IU had Tevin Coleman, who should have been a Heisman contender, and Howard back to back, which is pretty hard for a school like IU to keep going. They also lost some really good linemen and a good QB (even last year there was a noticeable drop off when Sudfeld got hurt, although they somehow still nearly beat OSU because CHAOS TEAM). The offense falling off a cliff is pretty easy to explain although I kinda still thought it might be good going into the year just because of Kevin Wilson. I have no idea how the defense suddenly became above average after years of being trash

He wanted his new contract guaranteed independent of Les Miles employment. He also just plain wanted to leave because he was tired of watching the offense hang his defense out to dry.

I think his departure was mutual though. Chavis gets a fresh team with good talent. LSU gets to stop having prevent defense any time it's the 4th quarter

I mean it's early days and they haven't played the toughest schedule, but LSU is currently ahead of A&M in both total defense and scoring defense. Aranda is no slouch. It's not like LSU's last year and a half would have looked much different with Chavis.

It worked out fine for LSU because they could throw a lot of money at another great DC but the point stands that Chavis is a great DC who has now caught unnecessary poo poo from two different SEC fanbases

Yeah Kansas is very bad but Weis left them in a position worse than a lot of programs who get punished by the NCAA. Also it isn't like there's a rich history to bring recruits in and turn things around quickly.

Beaty might be bad but it's impossible to know until he's been there 4 years or so.
