The numbers are different, but in the end the personnel is going to be relatively the same. LSU rarely played in a base 3-4 to begin with.


I misspoke. I meant Aranda’s scheme vs Pelini. Aranda was much more read and react, which I don’t think properly takes advantage of our athletes. I think it’s much better employed at a place like Wisconsin or Baylor.

I think the read and react was partly due to our defensive line depth situation, which was very bad when Miles was fired, and only now is getting closer to what it was in the late Miles/Chavis era. I don’t think we will see a rotation of 10 DL like we had under Pelini the first time he was here, but the rotations in 2017 and 18 relied a lot on the starters.

After Ole Miss, I think you saw a D closer to what Aranda wanted. We have up only 270 yards per game after Ole Miss, would would have been good enough for top five in the nation. If we go from the game where I consider us to be the healthiest we were all season, the A&M game, then we only gave up 259 yards per game, games which include three top five teams.
