Shutdown corners made the difference for the defense.

Chavis decided to trust his CBs to man to man cover the WRs, which opened up the playbook. The fact that when JFF looked to pass, his receivers were covered disrupted their flow. His best and go to receiver was covered like a blanket. RR, outweighed by 40 something pounds, manhandled Evans and had him crying like a little girl. White played great and only gave up big yardage and TD when he slipped. (Don't we change to longer cleats for wet and slippery conditions?)
The last time our starters at CB were from Florida and Shreveport, we had two first round draft picks playing. I believe these two guys will follow in the footsteps of RR and MC, who each happen to have a connection to his predecessor. And with the potential additions to the mix, our defensive backfield will be a No Passing Zone for the foreseeable future.
Add Jefferson, Paris, Brown, Toliver, Lewis, Thompson, Thomas, Hootie (?), Adoree (?). Stocked with NFL level talent. DBU laps the field.

How to cover Mike Evans was a big question mark for me going into this game. I watched a few A&M games throughout the season, and he made play after play after play. But The Rash stuck to him like a baaaaaad STD! It's going to be fun to watch him grow up as a Tiger.

Our DBs are gonna be great the next 2 years. Barring injuries or other "Honey Badger" type BS, we should have the best overall defensive backfield ever at LSU. Hootie, u are invited to be a part of this.

Hopefully they learned from the travails of the Honey Badger. However, they also learned from him on how to be a big time play making DB on the field as well.

Slow your roll. 2010 LSU secondary was the GOAT, any school, including 01 "da U"
Edit, honestly I agree with you. White Robinson Jefferson plus the incoming class are going to be nasty in '15

Doing work with some young dbs. Being able to play man up already with those guys......SEC is going to be sick of them. Unbelievable job. The one big scoring play was a result of White slipping. Unreal game and the potential is just off the charts. You know Robinson obviously shined, but really the whole d put the plan together and made it happen.

Can you imagine RR at 190 - 200 lbs? Or TW moving to nickel back in passing situations and Brown at corner opposite RR? TW could be a Honey Badger type terror on blitzes and near the line. He is a great tackler.
Add in Paris, Jefferson and Hootie (?) at safety. Even the second team would be a tough match up. WOW! Throw at you own peril.

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.

If our corner play is what caused JFF to be so wildly inaccurate then I don't think he's going to make it in the NFL.
I think he just had a bad day and our defense had a good day.

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.

Our young corners played great, but it was D line playing smart, disciplined, and relentless made the difference. They contained and pressured manziel at the same time. He was surrounded by the defenders and they stayed in his face, but did not try individually make the play on their own. Manziel never got comfortable or set in his throws. Great teamwork by the whole defense. If Manziel was comfortable in the pocket, those receivers would have had much bigger games. Great work by the D, particularly d line as a whole.

I was glad to see Loston play the QB/ball at the end to get a pick.

In fairness, JFF missed his receivers on a number of occasions when they had beaten their coverage badly. But clearly the kids have gotten better.
Posted on 11/25/13 at 10:49 am to nycajun
Yes and in fairness, he missed mostly due to the D-line pressure.

They should be playing man to man all the time. Let em use their athletic skills instead of having to read and react too much with all that zone BS. Reading,reacting and thinking slows them down too much.
