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.

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.

Well when you first switched to it they had a bit of success but not nearly as much. I'm sure you got better at as time went on. But I definitely saw a big change in production after that switch.
