LSU safety Ty Benefield is one of the vocal defensive leaders the Tigers will be relying on as they work to flush an ugly end to a 31-13 loss to Alabama and prepare for the final three weeks of the season. The Boise State transfer has been a standout in his first season in coordinator Blake Baker’s defense, racking up 41 tackles, three sacks and an interception. The No. 24 Tigers (6-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) will need his impact both on the field and in the locker room as they host No. 8 Texas (7-2, 4-2 SEC) in Tiger Stadium on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC).
Benefield spoke with reporters about what went wrong against the Crimson Tide and how the defense can clean up its mistakes against a talented Longhorns roster.
