re: So what was the defensive scheme that shut down JFF

Contain and make him throw.

Pretty much this. We tried other stuff at the beginning of the game, they scored several points, then we moved to this and pretty much shut him down.

Cant shut him down. You can only hope to limit him. Sell out to stop the run and he will pass all over you. Sell out to stop the pass, and well, you know what happens.

Started watching the LSU game, looks like they started with a 4 man front and switched to a three man and tried to disguise who was blitzing

This.

Go to a 3 man front. Have your D-lineman press the line straight forward and contain while bringing two of your LB's up the field with an emphasis on covering the flats, and, have your other two plug open B gaps.

Essentially fill the gaps upfront and plug lanes, and have athletic LB's press the pocket and wait to flush to the outside.

But I haven't finished the first half yet.

You can refresh my memory, but, as best I can remember once we switched to this front/scheme, I'm not sure if A&M got more than 2 or 3 first downs until their final possession when Chavis went to our soft Nickel coverage and they scored a TD.
