I had on a different pair of glasses because I saw some good corner play but more of some bad passes thanks to the D line pressure. Lack of pressure and things could have been very different. I also saw LSU D-backs slipping more that aTM.

I was so glad Sat, when Mill didn't start. He needs to work on his skills before he becomes a returning starter.

these 2 things go hand in hand, likely Chavis knew his pressure package would be effective therefore went man across the field. Also, A&M is pretty easy to play man from a scheme standpoint. The don't use a ton of motion, play-action, delay routes, etc.

EXACTLY this. The DB's played well, but again, this.

Playing man coverage against JFF is a risky game, as the DB's backs get turned to the QB, allowing QB to scramble down the field. The defensive stars of this game were the linemen, who got constant pressure without crazy blitzes, which allowed for combo coverages, which made his receivers be constantly covered, which made him throw a ton of horrible looking passes.
