More 4-3 looks vs Alabama rather than our 3-4 scheme

LSU has already defeated the top 2 passing offenses in the SEC. We held both of those offenses well under their Average Passing Yardage. We have two All-American DB's with ADAMS & T-WHITE. We also one of the best pass rushers in the Country with Arden Key. I really don't see Saban trying to beat us through the air. I don't think he wants his Freshmen QB having to make big time throws against our defense. The matchups favor us. Jalen Hurns is no AJ McCarron when it comes to passing the rock.

Cam Robinson may have his hands full with Key on passing downs but I don't think Key can handle an NFL tackle who outweighs him by probably 80LBS. Myles Garrett wasn't much of a factor vs Alabama this past week.

If you look at our defense up and down there is one glaring weakness and thats NT. Greg Gilmore. Up until now LSU has had one of the best rushing defenses in the nation. BUT.....who have we really faced? Any run heavy offenses? Really the only one was Wisconsin and they ran for 134 yards on us. Alabama is better than Wisconsin and they ran all over us last season. Bama has 3 capable running backs and a mobile QB. We are weak up the middle! Beckwith is a Great MLB but Gilmore just hasn't showed anything this season that makes me think we can stop ALABAMAs running game. Gilmore is average at best. HE NEEDS HELP.

I think it would be wise to run more of a 4-3 look. This is BIG BOY SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL. It's going to be won in the trenches. We need to slide Godchaux down next to Gilmore. We need to continually rotate Big bodies up the middle. That includes Valentine. I truly believe his girth could come in handy this game. Flank Beckwith with Duke and White. White has showed some flash/flare the last couple games. He's another huge body up the middle. He's fast enough to cover ground on the outside. He can contain Hurns.

If LSU goes into this game and thinks our base 3-4 is going to stop Alabamas run game its going to be a long night. We will get gashed right up the middle. This will NOT be Gilmore's game.
