LSU has had trouble covering backs out of the backfield, to some extent, for the last three years. Harvin is going to be a possible nightmare catching passess out of the backfield in a couple of weeks. I just can't see a linebacker on him. If you want to cover him with a safety, you need to play nickle, and that's no treat when trying to stop Tebow from running.

Have Peterson spy him on every play...

Florida's offense doesnt seem as good as last year's...if we cant do well on special teams coverage and play good offense we will.

the best way is to run blitz packages and drop the DE into the flat...you make tebow beat you with his arm which he proved he can not do against ole miss

I could see this as a bit of an understatement.

mirror Harvin w/chad jones when he is in motion or in backfield and play WR's man to man. Our front 4 are gonna have to get pressure b/c after the State game UF is gonna use their RB's more. Try to get 1 on 1 w/our LB's and Moody/Rainey are fast.

if we dont want Tebow to run the ball I doubt we would put the DE's in the flat very often...we would just have them contain.

Yeah we blitzed the hell out of them but Good News tigers. We didn't slow down Harvin and still won! He had over 150 yards receiving and like 90 rushing yards.
