LSU simply is NOT beating Bama.


Is this how you live your life too? To give up THAT easy. What a pussy. Let's not even play the game then and forfeit. It's called any given Sunday (Saturday) for a reason. Has Bama broke your spirit THAT bad? With that mindset, might as well crawl under a rock...pathetic.

On another note IMO, LSU will need to load the box but not bring pressure straight up the front (sit back). If they bring pressure/blitz through the A/B gaps, then this will give Hurts the ability (and running lanes) to scramble. What they need to do is similar to what they did with Manziel. Contain the edges, White spying on Hurts at all times, discipline when filling the gaps, and most importantly...load the box behind the DL, but have them stay there and fill any gaps. With the edges contained and gaps filled, Hurts will have to beat them through the air. This gives us our best chance at winning. If you blitz a QB like Hurts, he will make you pay with his legs.

not if it is a disciplined rush. go watch the UT game.

you cannot afford to spy him all game. he will kill you actually IF YOU DO NOT BLITZ with his legs which is why you need a spy when 4 rush. tough for 4 guys to contain him outside plus fill a/b gaps between tackles. you spy him with just a 4 man rush and drop 6 into man allowing one WR to be double teamed. LB can play zone/spy following hurts a few yards off LOS.
