Worries about Cooley matching up on brooks in the slot and keys matching up on their backs and tight ends in coverage. Felt those were interesting points. Honestly feel on passing downs singleton should play over keys with the athleticism he has.

In terms of Cooley, I think it’ll be a similar game plan to how we defended Anthony Evans I see woodland kicking it inside to cover brooks often.

Rufino's a drunk that talks about whatever he hears on message boards.

He's not wrong in that being an X-factor(s). Keys will get diced up in coverage but we need him in on run support situations. We need to go "small" on passing downs by putting benefield as a box LB, pickett and Jackson on the outside, and Woodland in the slot. Then put Thomas and Cooley in the back end.

If they find a way to pick on keys in coverage, we could be in for some trouble. Cooley doesn't concern me as much, but he is probably our worst cover DB out of the 6 guys I listed above relatively speaking

I stopped listening to Ruffino when Kiffin left ole miss and he spent his first 15 minutes of a lot of shows talking about how people were talking about ruffino and his family.

That’s hard to listen to when you want to hear about football.

I’m surprised he isn’t still crying about the bama DC saying they had a plan for Trey Dez

I lose brain cells listening to this dude

Agreed that should be our coverage lineup on obvious passing situations. Believe we ran this set a lot vs miss state to matchup with their speed. Benefield’s versatility is going to be vital in this matchup

Cooley and keys are our weakest cover players for sure. That doesn't mean they are bad, it is just our "weakspot" on defense if you were to point one out.

I don't see how anyone can listen to that dude. He is one of the most annoying people I've ever heard on YouTube. He's also really stupid. He's always trying to use words that he clearly has no idea what they mean because he misuses them. Add in that he screams all the time and spends his whole show arguing with the people that watch him and it's a tough listen.

I'll give him props for making money doing it, though. He seems to be able to make a living off of it and I can't knock that.

Based on stats they’ve targeted the TE a lot this year so they will be a factor in these types of plays also

I worry about their Tight ends as well. They use them a lot and hide them well.

Cooley has played excellent this year, he will be up to the task if they do pick on him.

Let me ask y'all this. Is there any LSU media/podcast guy that y'all do enjoy listening to?

Seems like these same responses are posted about every LSU podcast person that is brought up on here lol.

Key is probably the weakest link on the defense, but I am not worried about Cooley.

Our worst game defensively involved a very good QB playing as good as he’s ever played for a half.

Not just bad defense but some insanely good throws.
