LSU is not running the six-defensive back “Mustang” package it did under former coordinator John Chavis, and the Tigers are sometimes running a four-linebacker set called “Hippo,” players say.

And the “Money” position? He’s the outside linebacker in the five-DB nickel package. Riley, Donnie Alexander and Deion Jones are playing the position. The position can be played by a strong or weak-side linebacker – a striking change to the nickel package under Chavis.

Why did the defense change? The defense was very successful and the kids already know the calls and the schemes. Just add a few of your own wrinkles and adapt accordingly.
This just gives the negatigers validation when they said Chavis was running the D and Miles the O, because only a few route combinations changed between coordinators.

Seems like Deion Jones could really fit that wild card role with how fast he is

Dude, it really sounds like they have a want for hunger. One could even call them hungry. One could then extend to say they're hungry hippos. And man, what an awesome game.
