Chief constantly plugs small, safety sized players in the LB position. It works OK against a majority of teams but not against the upper echelon competition.

What? Last year the defense took a step back, but relatively speaking they still weren't THAT bad. Other than that, LSU has had a top notch defense under Chavis. shite, LSU won 9 and 10 games respectively in 2009 and 2010 with an offense that could barely complete a forward pass.

The smaller LBs struggle against teams employing a power running game between the tackles (see UGA and Bama from last season) but that has much more to do with the DL struggling. Even bigger LBs would have struggled last year with how poorly the DL played.

Are you friggin nuts? We regularly stone the most powerful running offense in football. Last year was an exception, but that rested squarely on the DT's, not on LBs.
