Key to stopping Oregon's Offense?

If you watched the NCG game last year you saw how disruptive to Oregon's timing Fairley was.
My questions is, who do you think will be a key player in slowing down Oregon?
I know we have some studs on the d-line, but I'm pretty excited about Freak. If I remember correctly, he was double-teamed on a few plays in the spring game and still made some good plays. Can he be our outstanding defensive player like Fairley was for Auburn?

simple answer, our defense

Tackle the ballcarrier behind the LOS.

They will have no defense. It will be a run-a-way LSU 38-17

Defensive line domination

Win the battle upfront and stuff the run. Force them to pass and let the secondary do their work with giant linemen bearing down on their QB. Not any different from stopping a traditional offense.

Chavis.
I don't care how good of players we have. If we have guys running all over the field like they're lost, it won't matter. (i.e., Ole Miss, Auburn 2010)

Lock Chavis up in a shed.

The key to stopping any offense is the defensive line play. If you don't have time to pass (due to pass rush), you will have major difficulty scoring. If you don't have any running lines due to the defensive line plugging up holes and pushing the offensive line back, you will have major difficulty scoring.

Good thread AnnArborTiger.
I don't follow Oregon that closely but:
1) They may start slowly but I don't think you want to hang your hat on that, i.e., unforced blunders. With their QB returning they will probably get up to speed quickly.
2) My guess is we're marginally more talented. But even if not, I think we have enough talent to line up with anyone. Our talent won't be a problem.
3) Oregon's O is very similar to what AU/OM ran last year. And if their talent isn't on par with AU's, it's at worst comparable to OM's and with rare exception we didn't come close to stopping either.
4) So Chavis needs to change something scheme wise so that we DO dominate the LOS, and make OU play outside their comfort zone, win the down-n-distance skirmishes.

Edge pressure helps, but will get "ate up" by UO's draw game. (See USC)
If you can get consistent penetration up the middle, their offense is effectively neutralized.

Gap. Discipline. Rarely a strength of any LSU defense.

The #1 key is Chavis.
Will he want to get penetration in the backfield or play read and react and corners play 7 yds off the line of scrimmage?
Chavis hasnt done well vs the spread at all.
His game plan for Auburn was terrible to put it mildly. Thank goodness for special teams for keeping that game close.

run the shite out of the ball and slow the game down, which nobody felt like doing last year outside of ASU, Cal and Auburn

"Cramps"... lots of "cramps"....
At least that is what some Aggies claimed slowed down/disrupted the flow of their offense in the Cotton Bowl!
Posted on 5/7/11 at 11:01 pm to TigerInAnnArbor
It's going to take a freak to slow down that experienced oline
Posted on 5/8/11 at 12:20 am to TigerInAnnArbor
tackle.

blow up the middle, they had fairly, he stopped the midline...you need an unstoppable DT to take away the middle....

Regardless of their timing and gimmick, they are human and a strong defense an shut them down. There, can we just wait until August now?
