LSU's base is a 4-3. It changes play to play depending on down and distance or opponent.

Against a&m last year chavis started in 4-3, manziel ate it up. Tigers went to a 3-2-6 from the second quarter on and held them out the endzone till about a minute or so left in the game.

Against bama LSU played it's base 4-3 with nickle and dime packages as needed. Besides bama's two 2 minute drives the tide had 10 possessions in their regular base offense.

They had six 3 and outs. Punt
Two possessions ended with fumbles.
One had two first downs and a punt.
One resulted in a TD.

If your DC has a scheme he believes in and the hosses to play it. That scheme really doesn't matter.

SPEED SPEED SPEED and MORE SPEED doesn't hurt. Chavis will always play SPEED over size.

Yeah, I was really surprised to see the DL weights for LSU prior to the Cowboy Classic. For all the talk of size, it really wasn't the case. Although I will say the size that I saw was in the Secondary. Simon, Claiborne, Reid, etc., were bigger than a pro-type db.

Sounds a lot like Chizik's philosophy. Except he forgot the speed part
