Thank you for the explanation. One last question:
I know CBs are important, but to stop a spread offense you basically need LBs that can cover WRs. Is LSU recruiting smaller but quicker LBs as well, or is there some coverage trick in Chavis's system?
Thank you for all the great responses, this is the most helpful SECR thread I have ever been a part of.

We aren't fortunate enough (well, excluding last year with Clifton Garrett and Keiyon Joyner in '16) to be in it for elite LBs.. So we don't nitpick as much.
This years linebackers will be the best we've bad in a very long time, definitely under Chavis.

He definitely recruits smaller outside linebackers to cover, Kwon Alexander, Debo Jones, Duke Reilly are all around the 200-220 lbs range. They are built for sideline to sideline speed and coverage on shifty smaller running backs.

our db coaches have done a good job evaluating kids on campus in camps over the summer (guys like mathieu, tharold simon, tre white, claiborne, etc)
lbs are smaller and have speed to run horizontally
Dline has been churning out studs for years, they get themselves into condition over the summer. that 2011 offseason prepping for oregon brought out the best in those guys in terms of their stamina.
tl,dr...recruiting, coaching, summer camps, conditioning
usually a team like ole miss or state will give us fits later in the year post-alabama, but you just have to give them credit as well. fortunately, thats usually the time of year our offense starts figuring shite out.
