Thats how LSU stops TR and EL. They will put 8 in the box and Bama will go to the air. But is their another team in the COUNTRY that can afford putting extra men in the box like LSU?

Our Secondary is down right scary. Mo and Simon with TM, Reid/Taylor/Loston.

I think this is exactly what we do to stop the run and pressure AJ McCarron and it will be up to our secondary to contain the Bama Passing Game. I like that challenge.

Thoughts?

I agree with this. I think Bama may anticipate this and try to hit some big passes early so I think Chavis is going to wait a bit then start stacking the box

I get this but only when its needed. Lets find out if Trent is the real deal or just make believed. Mark Ingram was praised too and LSU maintained him with a much better QB behind the center.

completely different gameplan than the WVU game. thats what the gumps don't get. they think AJ's gonna tear apart our D like Geno did.

They will likely have to put 8 on us too.

When we go into a 2 TE set that is already 7 on 7 full back makes 8

In the case of jj it's 9.

Randle and obj split out or change the fullback to ware

Bama is going to come out passing. They may even score on the first drive because it is usually scripted.

Even with 8 in the box AJ is in for a long day! AJ has never played in this type game. JL and JJ have.
