When I watched this live I thought Adams just made an athletic play. But when I went back and watched the replay, you can see Adams recognizes the formation, runs to the opposite side of the formation before the snap(away from the strong side/his responsibility), and makes the play.

This guy is elite.

Yep. Also helps that the players are allowed to watch film now of their opponents.

He made another great play earlier when he ran the width of the field to make a solo tackle on the Heisman Trophy winner.

Good observation. I wonder how much Dave Aranda game plan had to do with this?

One of the best safetys around the LOS I've ever seen. His only issues seem to be in coverage, but he's still above average at it.

Although I love Adams as much as anyone in the world...we don't really know what his "responsibility" was on this play. We don't know what the coverage was, clearly Battle is playing a free zone, Adams could have had the right flat coverage

The play be made when he read the zone read and covered the entire field to tackle Jackson will be on his NFL film. Don't see too many guys do that.

Love Adams and the way he plays. He represents what DBU is about.

He clearly knew exactly what that play was before the snap.

I have to say that this very play really shows us why this year's defense was so damned great.

Mr. Heisman did well to just get the ball to his pitch guy with Key bearing down on him. Without Key forcing his hand, he would have been able to go to his right flat where he had his guy one on one with Alexander (who was out of position at first due to Lamar's being a threat to take it in himself)

Instead, he decided to go with his option to the left which seemed smart enough if he wouldn't have been going against LSU. Jamal simply shouldn't have been able to get there. I guess that the film room paid off big time right there because once he cheated to that side an unblocked Adams was gonna eat.

Aranda really had these guys on their game this year!
