re: LSU Can Easily Afford to Stick 8 in the Box!

Alabama will use the short passing game to freeze our linebackers. Plus, they will throw to TR who will be a hell of a lot harder to bring down that UO or WVU. The early test of stopping the short pass will determine our fate.
What they may not have taken into consideration is the size of our DBs and the fact that they hit like LBs.
Conversely, we need to exploit their LBs positions UA plays a disciplined gap def. that funnels movement to their lbs. we have to hit the off holes that are difficult to cover, straight routes by our te's, curls by the wr's.
I hope we throw to our rb's , roll out and use JJ to try to tire their lb's, if that can be done.
