Exactly. Evans is used to pushing around corners and he got a little taste of his own medicine yesterday. He just isn't used to someone pushing back. Can't wait to see what Robinson becomes in his time here. He's gonna be a great one if he keeps progressing like he has so far.

Chavis is a real pro for sure.

I think some people are forgetting how the Alabama-TAM game actually went down. Manziel, et al was actually well controlled for most of that game. He made a couple of freak-show, throw it up for grabs low percentage completions that were in fact well defended. Evans also made some great catches with defenders all over him. If Yeldon doesn't fumble on the 1 in the 4th quarter that would have put us back up by 21, Alabama wins the game by 3-4 touchdowns

this is the correct answer in my opinion:

re: Bama/LSU defense vs JFF (Posted on 11/24/13 at 1:04 pm to samson73103)
LSU has recruited lighter but faster DEs. Matches up with A&Ms offense pretty well. Didn't let JM get to the outside, play tight coverage, and force JM to run up the middle right into our LBs.

Of course A&M never running the ball with an actual RB helps too

lsu defensive front is typically faster and more athletic than bama whereas bama is bigger stronger. Hence, if we don't have depth and great middle lbs we are vulnerable right up the middle. (LIKE THIS YEAR) and typically lsu corners are better cover corners than bamas while bama has better tackling guys who are better versus the run. just very subtle differences but they allow us to match up better versus jff. plus later in the season and they are finally figuring it all out. next year if we get a quality middle lber we should be a top ten defense again.
