I noticed a couple of players looking around as if to say ..where is ???/
that's typically what happens when someone blows a zone assignment.
as far as d-backs not turning around, this is mostly a sign that you've been beaten on the play and your only hope is to make a physical play on the receiver. If you try to play the ball you're going to give up a big play and possibly a score.

Basically what Saban indicates in that article. If you are on the receiver's hip, turn your head and play the ball, if not, play the receiver (go off of his hands and eyes to make a play).

Now, if you’re in-phase with him when he gets into the move area, you should be become the receiver and look for the ball. That’s what you should do, and then the ball has to go through you.
“If you’re in the out-of phase position, which means you can’t see his near number, you can’t be even with him, then you have to play the guy’s eyes and hands for the ball because you’re not in position...

I definitely saw times where if the DB would have simply turned around he could have batted the ball away...but no, it simply fell just over his head. Heck, just putting their hands up would have probably knocked it away without turning around! Of course as one poster mentioned, there are more pass interference penalties called as well when the DB doesn't turn before going for the ball.

I was there. Saw it myself. I'm no coach just a fan. I am however confident that the LSU coaching staff knows way more about teaching DB techniques than I do. So I expect improvement.

When there are four receivers do we still stay in zone coverage? Is this the reason for letting receivers blow by and not staying on the receiver?

Yes.

Think we can get Saban to come be our DB's coach? Hmmm.
And I think it's frustrating when they're playing the receiver but still getting toasted...or floasted.

No I haven't seen this at all. Nor has anyone else.

Yes! Thank you! It has happened in every game. At least two Int opportunities missed against GA because the DB never looked back for the ball. Loston has two much experience to being playing DB without proper technique. This does two things to you. You miss potential pick opportunities and you increase the likelihood of being flagged for interference or defensive holding. At this level, even true freshmen DBs should know better.

Oh how I screamed at the TV during the Dinardo years about this. "Turn the F**K around!!!

That "expert" was either on DiNardo's staff or is a dumbass. DBs are taught to look for the ball when the receiver indicates. Hands up looking back gets you a pick. Hands up looking at the receiver gets you hit in the back of the head with the ball, or burned, and can get you flagged for interference. And all of those things get you embarrassed and potentially beat.

i was once a young db. concerned about their lack of ball awareness and they can't seem to read their man's eyes very well at all. i won't get into zone because i was horrible in zone coverage. too many things going through my mind. just let me play my man.
