I'd be surprised if this is what Venables runs against LSU. Against Bama last year, they used a coverage they hadn't used all season and it confused us; wondering if they'll try something similar. But no one has been able to shake Burrow all season long so it won't be easy to do...

Clemson better be able to get consistent pressure on Burrow; if they don't, he'll pick 'em apart...

With 3 or 4. Blitzing does no good.

I think they should spy Burrow with Simmons , rush 4 or 5 , play a Nickel or Dime zone with a minimum of 3 CB's .

Playing man with those three receivers and Moss isn't a good idea , but rushing three and dropping 8 won't work I don't think , because of Burrow's running ability even with Simmons spying.
