I know this is pointed at an Alabama fan, but your own fans are sayign this on the regular board. Much of the information fans on this board get is from the fans of the teams. You can't blame an Alabama fan for saying this when chances are, he is getting it from LSU fans.

The long and short of it is no one, other than the people inside the program, know what LSU's D is going to look like, but a 3-4 base is not likely.

"Less than a month before the season opener, and two days into preseason camp, Steele’s defensive plans for the Tigers aren’t all that clear. Assistant coaches aren’t often allowed to speak to reporters, and players are guarded about giving away too much."


"From discussions with players, Steele is in the midst of implementing a fairly similar and somewhat simpler scheme than that of former defensive coordinator John Chavis.

Steele’s scheme appears to be more multiple — with a variety of formations — and includes new terminology with positions like “Money.” It seems to be more linebacker-centric, too."


"OK, but is it safe to call LSU’s base defense a 4-3 still? Well, yes, linebacker Duke Riley said, but he mentions another formation when discussing the unit’s base D: 4-2-5."


"One twist: “In some defenses we’ll have a 3-4. Four linebackers,” Riley said."
