If we drop 8, then that would be 8 defenders to cover 4 or 5 WRs.

If we send 5 defenders (2 from any othe position on the field), we still have 6 defenders to 4 or 5 WRs.

Chavis will come up with some great stuff. Plus Miles' team do very well with extra time. This will be a fun game to watch.

I listened to one of there assistant coaches give an interview today. He talked about how you had to able to throw on us to have success and that our first two big opponents didn't have accurate quarterbacks.

But I think with the 3-2-6 or even the nickel, we can choose to take away the passing game if that's what the opponent would like to do. In my opinion, this will be the inverse of the MSU and Oregon games. We're going to sit back, watch for screens and draws, cover the deep routes and beg them to run the ball on us.

Then, once we get them in long situations, we'll bring the pressure and challenge Geno to beat us.

Yep, sounds like a plan. They can throw 50+ passes if they want but they will all will be for little gain and we will pick off about 5 of them.

The great thing about the 3-2-6 is that we can get pressure on the QB from the 3 D linemen without blitzing. Their offense is also good for Hatcher because he can defend the short passes and he can cover the running back. We can basically have 7 DB's on the field at the same time. If we blitz with Baker we still have 7 in coverage and our 3 DL and Baker can get enough pressure alone.

Yeah, this defense is fun. Tyrann is just one of those players that just makes anything work, so versatile.

Gotta love the fact that the team had a couple of extra days to watch film of their offense. They are gonna be jumping all kinds of routes Saturday night.

Why don't we do what we do best which is blow up their entire O-Line with the beasts on the D-Line?

Duzz, I would love to see us occupy their 'B' gaps with our DEs. The NT would be shaded to the strong side 'A' gap and the backside LB would attack the backside 'A' gap.

B-gap: by having our DEs attack the inside gap of both tackles, we could hopefully occupy both the G and T on both sides of the line.

Strong side A-gap: NT would be left one on one with their C.

Weakened A-gap: the LB on the weakened would have to be blocked by their RB.

That leaves 7 guys who can still cover the WRs. The Nickel, Dime or Strong side LB could be sent at any time. If we send, one of those that gives us a 5-man pressure with 6 to cover 4 WRs.
If they put 5 WRs out, the weakened G would have to pickup the blitzing LB. That leaves the weakside DE with an inside lane to the QB.

LSU is better with Hatcher's arse on the bench! He is awful.
He was terrible vs Miss State. He misses assignments regularly, can't tackle and a liability.

The link talks about chavis' mustang package as a true dime package (4-1-6) but he runs a 3-2-6 as we all know. I guess that's just something he switched up in his scheme?

I think that link was satirical. Look at the comments at the end.

Options Saturday:
Oregon, Miss State, ran the spread option. With fast college football players.
40-27 LSU beating Oregon.
19-06 LSU beating Miss State.

Please....stop talking.

To be quite honest, I am worried about our linebackers in this game.

If I'm an Off. Coordinator, I would game plan around attacking LSU's linebackers. I would come after them hard and often.

Guess we'll see Sat.

As everyone has said, it will be very hard to get to their qb due to the quick pass routes and quick release he has. The only thing I ask of Chavis is to make sure he keeps playing that tight man coverage most of the time and have our DB's knock the hell out of their WR's at the line to screw with their timing.

WVU will try to gameplan something similar to what Arkansas does. It's the gameplan that I would use if I had a similar WVU squad.

1. Spread LSU out the width of the field.
2. Use the passing game to setup the run (because they don't have a running game).
3. Neutralize the outstanding play of our DB's by occupying them with down-the-field pass plays.
4. Throw exclusively the tightends & backs.
5. Throw stop routes and slant routes to get the ball out of the QB's hands.
6. Put fast/athletic receivers in the slot and create 1-on-1 matchups with our linebackers.

We really can't compare them to Oregon, although they are similar. Oregon actually has a running game and uses it to setup the pass. WVU's running game is horrible; however, their receivers are much more experienced than Oregon's, so their passing game will have a bit more rhythm.

Just my thoughts.

To further your point, the score of those games also mean nothing. Neither of those games were remotely as close as the final score would have believe.

It's difficult to target LB's as a group. It's not like a specific corner that you can pick on at will. Since LB's support both the run and pass, the d-line and secondary have to be targeted as well.

How does one target a LB? Send the RB out from pass protection as a receiver. Anybody in the secondary can cover the RB out of the backfield. Try to run right at them? Gotta get past the line. Not an easy task to target LB's...especially with Chavis on the sideline.
