Blitzing = winning

In football, at least college and pro you have to pressure the QB in order to win games. You know how Saban consistantly wins with his defense? He unleashes the hell hounds on 3rd and long. What's the worst thing that can happen? They burn you with a screen pass and get 15? So what, they'll get 15 anyway if your DBs aren't covering and the DL can't get pressure. The Saints won a SB with a mediocre defense because they blitzed on just about every play.
You make up for defensive weakness by blitzing/pressuring the QB. LSU refuses to do this right now. Which is perplexing because we have speed on D besides #31. Bama and Auburn pressured & blitzed the crap out of Wallace and it affected him.
I think we put too much stock in how GOOD of a D Coordinator we have right now.....man

Les/Chavis are gun shy after what happened against Bama last year.
Never mind the fact that it was playing a prevent when Bama only needed a FG to tie that allowed Bama to be in a position to beat the blitz in the first place.

i concur....his scheme has proven to be mediocre when there is a talent gap....not to mention the middle of the field always looks wide open...

Chavis runs cover 2, Tampa 2. It's 2 deep safeties for those who those who don't know. His zone defense is a easy defense to learn one would think. It relys on zone coverage with people playing their assignment, and getting pressure with rushing 4. He ocassionally blitzes a corner or safety. Sometimes will run blitze a linebacker. I don't know why the Defensive secondary is always lost on zone assigment. Coaching or stupid players, don't know. We can't tackle that well either. Also problem is zone defense gets you picked apart on the short passes with spread teams. This modern style of football (spread offense)kills a zone defense. Spread the DBS out run off tackle with the read option or throw the short passes. The cover 2 is so you don't get beat deep. We blitzed once with a corner and he missed locking up the QB on third down. Got a completed pass after rolled the pocket. Was down on the 15 i think about to score.
Pretty bad. Football is evolving with more and more spread offenses. It puts the offense in space against the D. Our D is not that bad, just average actually compared to most college football teams, but from our D in the past we are horrible. We gave up 26 to Miss State, but scored 59. Gave up 27 to ole miss but offense had a off first half which lost the game. Florida's offense is horrible ranked 105 in nation. Most of these spread teams are hanging 40-70 points a game right now. When we played a few years back, they scored 27, but we got the turnovers. Also it really sux now Im working in Tuscaloosa for 2 weeks where already been hackled 3 times about LSU losing plus A&M losing. Bama has already packed their bags for the SEC championship game, while LSU can play second fiddle for another season.

Everytime we had them in 3rd down i would tell my buddy that we were gonna give it up. I don't remeber seeing any blitzes last night. I mean damn on the final drive u have a chance to make tgem go 3 and out. Instead of bringing the house you sit back and basically play prevent.

Their receiver could beat our guy man-to-man on a go route and score a touchdown.
I'm not saying they necessarily would, I haven't look at the speed numbers. But you can't just blitz all the time. That's like saying "Hey, just run around the pile!"
