No you have to force the opposing OC to scale back. Look at how our DBs- clearly the most veteran group on the team- played. With a few exceptions in the 3rd & 4th quarter they played the same coverages/schemes that were picked apart this season and last.

To win o D in this era you have to reduce what opposing OCs are willing to call. If you have easy to read coverages or you are not taking away one aspect of the opponent's gameplan you are screwing yourself. It's no coincidence that LSU ran basically what they ran on their first drive when Bama closed the gap in the 4th quarter.

That's all fine and well, but when your players are lost every week it's going to fail.

So, I guess there is no good option, because it's patently obvious our guys cannot execute complex schemes. No shot. Not happening.
