re: How would you stop LSU offense?

Last time they tried that, Burrow passed for 479 yards cause it just pissed him off. Then he rubbed it in by waving to the crowd.

You would have to play man and win your one on ones which is very hard to do with such a great receiving core we have. No college team has a three cornerbacks that can guard Chase, Jefferson and Marshall so it’s almost impossible. You also would have to blitz to get pressure on burrow. If you do decide to blitz you better get to him because he will make you pay if you don’t. Not to mention when you have a running back like CEH who can pick up blitzes, break tackles, catch balls out of the backfield, etc. your almost virtually impossible to stop. So what I’m getting at is an offense like this can only stop themselves with silly mistakes like turnovers. There is no defense in college football that can stop this offense if we are hitting on all cylinders. We can only beat ourselves.

Flu?

Pick your poison. Got to have the athletes first. No body really matches up well with our receivers.

Double team both main receivers, put a spy on Joe but disguise it. Force him to think he has an easy run and then blow him up. Any formations that are obviously going to be CEH running the ball, I would audible into a 3-4, blitz the OLB on the strong side, spy one of the middles, and blitz a safety.

When Joe lines up in shotgun 3 to 5 wide I would go to a 3-2-6 (basically a 3-1-7) but pull the 3rd safety right up with the MLB, the 3rd safety is going to play the ball in a hovering style zone.I would clog up the middle and the edges with zone thus taking away the swing, the quick out hitch, nothing underneath, and nothing deep. Both outer corners would be in man and have both safeties sitting deep and have both nickel corners in a deep range zone. Basically if Joe is going to pass he’s going to have to lob some perfect balls midfield or take off for a qb run to either the right or left edge, if he thinks he can beat my 3rd safety and MLB who’s in a shallow zone, not too mention my defensive ends are going to be flushing Joe out. Joe loves to throw the high over the right shoulder before the receiver even turns around play. It’s very risky for several reasons and usually it’s a genius or a bad move. If you can disguise some double teams just enough to cheat over you could pick Joe off. He won’t be able to hit that pass in the nfl, those corners will break off and get under and pick him off.

The only way to slow down LSU is by getting pressure from all 4 DL spots. Even if the OT’s have gotten beat, the C and OG’s and have held the middle enough for Burrow to step up into the pocket and make throws downfield.

Auburn did a pretty good job at getting pressure and having the coverage setup on the back end to stop some of the short throws.

Tell them that the game is a day later than it was supposed to be played.

They can't effin stop it.

We've seen teams bring pressure, doesn't work.

We've seen teams drop 8 into coverage, doesn't work.

LSU had defensive coordinators creating new defenses to try to stop them but they couldn't. I have never seen an offense that literally could not be stopped in the SEC. We've seen some great offenses over the years but nothing like this. They were putting up Big 12 numbers against SEC talent. Unreal.

I pull two non-schloroship players from the scout team. First guy rushes in blind and takes Burrow out of the game. Second guy comes in blind and takes Brennen out of the game on the next play. We can then load the box and shut down the run game with less worrying about the pass.
