Which defense do you like better? Saban seems to have a good 3-4 system going, but I also having a couple of quick ends while still having two big boys pushing those holes closed in the middle.
Would you like LSU to go to a 3-4 or stay a 4-3?

4-3 is more solid IMO

3-4 if you've got the right personnel otherwise it's a clusterfrick.

I think the real question is which do you use when you play NCAA Football? There will probably be a lot of answers based on that information...

IMO, Louisiana doesn't produce the linebackers to run at 3-4. Hell, we barely produce the linebackers to run the 4-3.

Our recruiting strength lies in the lines and skill positions.

4-3 against typical college offenses

3-4 against spread-type offenses

EDIT: And fwiw, my personal favorite is the 4-4-3, but you've got to have balls of steel to run that thing. It's crazy dangerous.

you run a 3-4 when you don't have dlinemen that you can count on. because you can move lbs around and do more stunts in different gaps. you can blitz more, it does better to disrupt the offense.

if you have a solid defensive line, it's better to go 4-3, make your linemen still play a 2 gap scheme and play a zone or cover 1 behind it. like we did a lot in 03.

in my opinion

LBs are so important to a 3-4 and LSU history shows that the state doesn't produce large numbers at that position. stick with a 4-3 unless you can geta solid 8 LBs which LSU rarely if ever has done

What the hell does it matter what he has going? Alot of other coaches have good defenses going, but you felt compelled to mention Nick's...hmm...obsessed?
