We gave them a break. Bigger athletes a 3-3-5 d. We need to keep in the I and come away with a win.

Just because its a 3-3-5 doesn't mean you can run run run. Example: I know Arkanas isn't exactly a running powerhouse but ULM, yes ULM, held them to under a hundred yards rushing with their 3-3-5 D. It will be how much does WVU load up in the box to stop the run more than anything else.

If we are fortunate enough to have any continuity on Offense- It will begin and end with the "I" Formation.

It would be nice to see straight up football and let the athletes just beat their assigned defender.

I believe it would help the confidence of the team if they lined up and shoved it down their face.

I am just concerned that the I formation will see a dive up the middle for a gain of 2 yards on the first series and Crowton will shelve it and run finesse shotgun spread.

Teams that have have tried to pound it inside have been unsuccessful v. WVU

LSU will not be able to pound the ball down WVU's throat. It will not happen. JJ is going to actually have to move the ball through the air a little bit to win this game.

I definitely don't want to see the old Jimbo Fisher run up the middle two times and throw long on third down offense.

Crowton with Miles as head coach wants a 50/50 run pass. With J.J. at QB, 65/35 run to pass should be our goal.

I would rather see the offense in the I formation. I just think the backs are able to hit the hole quicker and harder. It also allows the QB to concentrate on the Defense and not have to focus on catching the ball before he can look at the Defensive coverage.

My Opinion: JJ would benefit from taking the snap from under center. His eyes never have to leave the field. He can focus on the routes and defense and not be concerned with catching the ball first and then locating everyone on the field.

Actually, running against a 3-5-3 is more difficult than expected because a 4th (and many times even a 5th) defender will be brought to the line in the form of a LB or Safety. By not having that defender in a typical DL stance & position, it is harder for OL to call the correct protection or execute the given run blocking scheme (man or zone.)

Also, the defense can disguise where the 4th and 5th guys are coming from by stemming the LBs (ie, moving back & forth near the line "selling" blitz.)

Imagine being an OL and walking up to the line seeing 3 DL and 5 LB/SS hybrids, all within 2 yards of the LOS and not knowing what combination will be coming or where they will be attacking.

A traditional 4 front is actually "easier" to game plan for because once a DL lines up, he is pretty limited in what he can do (bull rush, slant, twist, or, rarely, zone drop into coverage) and he is pretty limited as to which gap he can attack.

LBs/Rover/Bandit types in a 3-5-3 can run blitz, read, zone drop, play man to man on TE or RB out of backfield and do so in numerous gaps.

I am actually more worried about this defense than anyone except Bama.

I think we will have more success running the ball than this thread indicates.
