re: LSU front 7

Sigh, I'll bite.

Godchaux would crack the two-deep easily, LaCouture and Thomas would compete. Hunter would start at DE, Rasco would compete but idk if he would start necessarily. Definitely would be on the 2-deep.

Alexander is the second-best linebacker on both teams combined and would absolutely start for State. The rest more or less come down to scheme, Jones and Riley and Louis and Welter all play roles in our scheme but probably wouldn't be major contributors for State. I think.

We can definitely shut down your team, it's happened before and we have the athletes to do it again. Your style is similar to Auburn's, and we haven't had a lot of trouble containing them ever since they brought in the spread.

State is talented and your front seven might even be better than ours as a whole, but our front seven doesn't have to be better than yours to win. Our DEFENSE as a whole - including the best secondary in the country - just has to be better than your offense more than your defense has to be better than our offense. I think they're up to the task.
