you'll hear a lot about the Mustang Package. Which is not a conventional "situational" type package. In other words, when O trots X players on field, they don't swap to it. O doesn't dictate when it's used I guess is the best way of saying it. It's more a style that allows flexibility.
- already stated, physical CB's that cover very well.
- LB's that can cover slots/TE's in parts of the field (and know when to release them to safety's). That's the speed vs size.
- Have to have multiple skill safeties.
- DTs that abosrb blockers, DE's that can play in space.
One thing I noticed about when LSU played TAMU was controlled rush. And not just keeping lanes (everybody tried that). I saw once where Mingo had him dead to rights and he just stopped and moved just enough to keep the OT off of him. What he did was take away 3-4 gaps that JFF could run in. Takes coached discipline for that (credit Brick Haley too).
ETA: looks like I just elaborated on what GetMoreWithLes said. sorry.

Ah the good ole mustang package. As long as you're not up four with a minute left with David Greene, Fred Gibson, and a hobnail boot lying around, you're golden.

No need to be sorry, I was just saying what I see in the Mustang. You don't see much discussion about it. I am not sure the avg LSU fan comprehends the success Chavis has against the HUNH. This is why I got into a sparring match a month or so ago with some Barners who think Nick Marshall is the second coming.
