With how well LSU spins the pill, I'd wager a guess that we'll do everything we can to stop the run with 2 high safeties. If we have to drop a guy down, LSU will be very happy. Having said that, I wouldn't have a problem with going to a 4-1-6 look with a drop down Safety, which basically gives us 2 fleet afoot "ILBs" - Benton and McKinney. If we feel good about McKinney in the run game, as well as the other safety and Money holding down the fort deep, I wouldn't mind seeing it all game. However, any OC worth a damn is going to run power until you get out of it.

It'll be a nice chess match. As long as we don't ask Lee to do what he can't do, and Harris is clear on pre-snap communication and who to cover, we'll likely be fine.

However, if I'm Ensminger, I'd get Lee in coverage on a RB and throw it to him every other play. I'd do it until you took Lee out of the game by necessity. After that, Bama is out of its comfort zone and I empty the playbook.

One more thing about the safeties. If I'm Golding, I find out really quickly whether Burrow is comfortable reading Saban's pattern matching scheme or not. It's beautiful in that it gives a 2-high safety look pre-snap, then rotates a safety down on the side with the fewest passing targets (generally speaking). We got a nicely-schemed INT last week off of a pretty switch by Benton and Diggs on some related concepts. My point is that I think we can gum up some of Burrow's reads and steal a pick or 2. Might be our single biggest way to get an advantage after the pass rush.
