I don't know why LSU insist on running the ball when opponents stack the box.

They definitely will stack the box and play man. Every team we play does most of the time. As a opposing coach you have to respect LSU's run because of the backs we field.

We have been beating this with the pass all year. I don't think it will change in this game, but I am looking forward to the challenge UF brings to the LSU offense.

I think LSU will challenge UF's D with our running game. They haven't looked as good since they lost Easly.

If you look at UF's defense they play very disciplined football and the reason for that is that they have talent in all aspects of their defense. In a game that will feature a good offense in LSU and a good defense in UF, the game will be decided by either LSU's defense or UF's offense. Fortunately the game is in Death Valley, but LSU's defense has got to step up in this game, if I said I wasn't worried about the game I would be lying.

I doubt they stack the box and play man against us, manly because they have a freshman CB starting. And hes a great freshman CB, but i think Jarvis and Mett would pick on him the entire game. I actually think they will play a lot of base/nickel D. They have a great DL to slow our running game down without stacking the box. And they have really good DBs to play with our WRs. Just dont think they stack the box and put their CBs on an island. Play a lot of base/nickel and blitz a good bit.

I see it being a pretty straight forward game.

This will be the game I think the LSU D starts playing with consistency and at a higher level of play.

I wasn't so sure their was anything that could be done after the UGA game and the first half of the Miss St. game but after half they made adjustments and started playing sound football with young players.

Tiger Stadium is a extremely intimidating place to play. Tyler Murphy is going to let Tiger Stadium get into his head and he will make mistakes.

I think this Saturday most will see a vintage environment in Death Valley. Very loud and energizing the defense.

We really need to get loud for this game.

I'm calling out the sleeping giant that is Tiger Stadium.

Muschamp does not like to stack the box against the run unless he feels like he has too. UF actually plays about 60-70% nickel, because he likes having speed on the field. Usually he rotates one safety down in the nickel to help with the run.

Florida will hope that the front 7 will be able to contain the run, and that the front 4 can pressure Mett, and will man up on the outside. UF will pretty consistently have one safety deep down the field.

There will not be a ton of zone. Some, obviously, bust mostly, tough, in your face, "handsy", man defense.

The UGA game was decided by a special teams muff. We reverse that against UF, we win. End of story.

Death Valley has to rock. The defense reacts to the ball and doesn't need to hear. The crowd needs to help disrupt their offense.

They'll key on Odell & Landry. Cam will catch them off guard with passes to TEs,& RBs.

If we put 4 wide outs to start the opening drive, I doubt we see a stacked box, but I would hope so to see the TD on the first play of the game.

wouldn't be surprised if this is a game we go to the fullback and tight end a few more times than normal if that's the case...hell a few halfback screens as well

what is UF's base defense. Their scheme? I think with muschamp being a defensive minded coach he will first stop the run and force us to pass. Just because with a good back if you don't stop the run you're percentages aren't good. Force mettenberger to throw a pass and even if you're getting beat with the pass you still stay committed to the stopping the run. With enough passes and decent coverage a mistake will be made and it's on their defense to take advantage. Hopefully we don't make any mistakes although we may be able to afford a few vs. their offense.

My LSU frands.....

UF will stack the box, but it will be out of a Nickel D. One safety down in the box and 1 over the top.

I highly doubt we go base, unless it is an obvious running situation.
