And that great stat is mainly due to the balance of run pass. If your LB is committing to the run only, it will be exploited.

This... doesn't make any sense? Roquan's assignment is to cover the RB out of the backfield, be it on running plays or pass plays (safety valves, wheel routes, screens, etc). The only way Oklahoma can "exploit" that assignment is if y'all really think your RBs are going to beat Roquan in that assignment straight up. And if that's what y'all are going on then I think UGA would take that bet every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Georgia is probably going to play a 2-4-5 most of the game if I had to guess, wherein Roquan spies the RB (both in true run defense and in pass coverage) leaving Reggie Carter, Lorenzo Carter, and Davin Bellamy to rush the passer, contain Mayfield, and try to cover Andrews over the middle. My guess is Bellamy and Reggie rush/play contain with the 2 DL and Zo's size and athleticism is left to compete with Andrews over the middle.

In instances where OU uses a no back set, Roquan will be blitzing to try to force Mayfield into a quick throw or a sack.
