LSU defense vs Bama A&M

Rock, paper scissors?
LSU had no answer for the Tide's power running game, but was able to stifle the Aggies
Are Chavis' smallish but fast LB's better suited to stop certain styles of offense

Yes, it's easier to have to stop one player as compared to stopping a whole team.

No doubt! Chavis defense is suited to stop everyone. There are two requisites, though. Great corners allow you to get numbers in the box, and great DTs allow the small LBs to flow. We're missing the DTs this year. Our LBs constantly have DTs and OLs in their way. Against A&M that wasn't a problem, and as I've posted elsewhere, A&M let us get away with single coverage by not putting the ball up for grabs to Evans.

yep, and Bama is a lot better team now than they were at the beginning of the year too...where as A&M really hasn't progressed on defense at all this year.

I think the type of athletes LSU has had from 2011 on at DE are ideal for containing the outside movement of scrambling read option/spread type qbs. Look at the success we've had (in terms of wins and gameplan) vs. Oregon, WVU, Auburn, Texas A&M over the last few seasons.
You need a qb who will run it up the middle to beat LSU's scheme; Cam Newton comes to mind but that's pretty rare to see.

A and M had no balance at all. they never even tried to run the ball which was a huge mistake by Sumlin considering the conditions of the game.
it is far easier for any DC to stop a team when you know they will only pass every down

Welter=Manziel Kryptonite

Crow: it's what's for breakfast.
Incredibly surprising performance by the defense.
Rasco, Hunter, and the freshman corners really stepped up. I also saw Jefferson #29 make a great tackle and he was in the game a good bit. Welter, for all his shortcomings, even played at a higher level than usual.
To me Robinson was POTG. He pretty much shutdown and frustrated Evans, who has dominated other quality secondaries. What a performance.
From my seat, that looked like the best defensive performance of the year; especially when you look WHO they shut down. That was the nadir of JFF's career. They shut him down even worse than last year, which was his previous low point.
Nice game Tigers. Great job defense.
this is one crow I'm happy to eat.

Bama couldn't stop Aggies passing game and figured out a way to stop the passing attack of LSU. Home field advantage is huge and played factors in both cases.

the reason bama couldn't stop A/Ms passing attack is Manziel could get away from the blitz. Mettenberger is a statue. apples and oranges

The Saban defense really does eat statue QBs alive

All I can say is great game guy's, if we played like this all year we could have be in the NC game.

LSU is best when in the nickel defense. We get in trouble when we Play base4-3 and zone coverage. A&M Offense forced us into nickel and it played to our strength. Really hope Chavis sticks with the nickel even against more traditional style offenses
