LSU's weakness is their LBs and #5 in the secondary. At one point they were atrocious at pass rush but that has really started to pick up at the end of the year. If you want to beat LSU's defense you move your best WRs around to isolate them on Vincent #5 in the slot, find him in the secondary, throw on him even if he's covered. He'll probably PI more often than not. LSU's LBs have major issues hitting gaps at times too. They make bad reads in the hole and miss pursuit on the outside. It's not that they lack lateral movement it's just bad reads especially on read option teams they break containment in the front seven a lot.

Vincent is actually not a bad S option at all for LSU. His issue is confidence. He sometimes gets nervous in coverage and can't keep his hands off WRs when he doesn't even need to do that. He'll make plays then get torched on another. He's too inconsistent. LSU should be shadowing Clemson's best WRs with Stingley/Fulton and giving Vincent help where he's isolated.
