re: Iron Bowl in BDS

We see how much good LSU's pass rush did in stopping a running QB.

So you disagree about your defensive line. When I watched the LSU vs UT game the hit Simms virtually every play. Alabama pass rush was pretty much non exsistant against them.

Your secondary is playing above their heads right now, but the defensive line is not getting it done. It's really the reason you guys lost to Scar. Garcia had all day.

The 3-4, even with a linebacker eushing the passer at jack, usually doesnt generate alot of pass rush ability by itself. Thwe purpose of a 3-4 is to contain and protect, whhile the extra linebacker adds more blitz variation for when you do want pressure.

That said, you typically only see us using complex blitz schemes for high level opponents. The 3 primary linemen are each as big as defensive tackles, that is to make up for a weakness in run defense up the middle.

But really, the 3-4 is the perfect scheme for a mobile qb IMO, expect much contain and run blitzing.

So are Alabama's...

Cue the "THEY SHUT DOWN THE MIGHT TENNESSEE RECEIVERS" crowd.

I dont think that a secondary that leads the SEC in interceptions is mediocre. There is a big difference from how they plsyed from the beginning of the season to this point.

EDIT2: Scratch that, we lead the country.
