Give it up. This defense of the nickel D against that offensive setup is ridiculous. You can't allow a QB to sit there whistling all day before deciding what lane he wants to run through.

He never completed a single pass downfield on LSU all day. If you bring one man off the edge, he's not a threat to automatically be able to find out which of his 4 receivers to throw to.

Auburn ran for more against LSU at a higher yards per carry average than what they could do against no other SEC team. The coaches messed up.

Right, you can't.

But it had VERY LITTLE to do with the scheme.. and everything to do with the failure of our front 4 to generate any sort of a push. We got dominated up front, plain and simple.

We didn't let him.

And to only think if the coaches were the ones out there missing tackles... how much more blame could we give them?

You have a problem with 5 dbs in against a 4 WR set?

This. Unless they run for 400 yards against everybody, they shouldn't have run for 400 against us.

There were no adjustments made and AU kept killing LSU with simplicity. Huge coaching gaffe.
