Zone. Clemson showed this last year.

If we go man, their receivers will beat us. They are as good as advertised

Yes.

That is the reason that we have been "practicing zone" in other games this year.

Because we need it for Bama and the CFP.

I would agree, but LSU’s DL can’t get consistent pressure the way Clemson’s did last year.

I don't think zone is our best option. It hasn't worked well this year against lesser teams than Alabama, so I think we have to trust our corners. Remember, our corners are as good as advertised, as well.

We'll give up some plays, but that's just the way it is. They are going to have the same problem with our offense, and frankly, LSU has shown more balance on offense than Alabama for the last 5 games. That makes us less predictable and less likely to turn it over.

So LSU going man to man could lead to a pick from a guy like Stingley, and that might be the difference in the game.

If we go zone, our defense will bleed to death like it did at Texas, only worse, imo. We just don't generate much of a rush with our front four.

We aren’t going to play just zone or just man. We are trying to disguise it and fool tua.

Pressure, pressure. If we play that soft zone BS we'll get the crap beat out of us.
