re: How would you beat LSU?

Offensively, I line up in I formations on early downs, double team the three technique and nose tackle, and hammer it inside with the full back leading on the ISO, as well as some counters, traps, and G leads. I'd neutralize the pass rush with some quick screens and keeping either a TE in to block or throw from a 2 back set, with my best back checking outside pressure to flare out for quick dump passes. My WR's would run option routes on the outside(slant, fade, comeback) and take what the cb gives them. Slot WR's would use motions to get linebackers/nickles out of position on crossing routes. I would use the shite out of mesh routes as well as motioning from a 2x2 to 3x1 formations and running switch routes and wheel routes against the young secondary.

Defensively, iM bouncing everything outside by telling my inside lineman to fall when double teamed and to cram the blockers back on any base blocking of zone blocking. Linebackers are to force everything east/west and my safeties will have to make tackles and corners will have to crack replace. My boundary corner is gonna press 85% of the time, I'm gonna attempt to bracket the slot WR on obvious passing downs, and my field corner will basically be on an island the entire game because quite frankly, LSU receivers don't scare me. I'm gonna throw a lot of different looks and pressures at Zach to try to confuse him. Secondary and linebackers are gonna have to read their keys and not fall for the play action.
