Early line vs. Moo St: Hogs +17

Our secondary was the most impressive part of the defense imo so maybe we can keep it interesting

One thing I don't want to see is any of our linebackers in man coverage

Rush 3 drop 8. They talked all offseason about playing 6 DBs so this might be that game to actually do it.

been thinking this all night to myself.

I think we have a shot as long as we play multiple safeties/DBs instead of LBs.

also we better rush more than 3 over and over. that was the bert technique. please God do not do the bend don't break shite against this offense. that is how you get killed by letting them move the ball down the field. have to have an exotic zone blitz package ready to throw off the QB.

We’ll 100% get torched if we try to blitz State to death. You beat the air raid by flooding the field with more defenders than receivers. Now we don’t have the DL yet that Washington had but that’s exactly how they’ve consistently beat Leach at Wazzu and what LSU didn’t do this weekend.

Eh, LSU tried this at times and it killed them because State has a very smart QB that knows exactly where he needs to throw the ball after he sees the blitz. You don't want to give him the same look all day but Washington by far had the most success against Leach and they relied on the rush 3 approach heavily.

Keep betting against the hogs until the lines adjust


a 17 point spread (its up to 18 on most books) is nothing for a Leach offense.

14 of that could hit in the first quarter before we make a first down.

In regards to betting - crazy as it sounds Hogs covered by a 1/2 pt this past week.

While true, thats after the line moved 4 points

We don't have the speed on the back end to do this, State's QB would just sit back there and take his time picking us apart - especially if we play with a 10yd cushion on the LOS with our CBs.

Bring 3 DL with a 4th LB playing about a yard off the line, blitz that LB every so often to keep a man on the OL basically dedicated to spying him but mostly drop him back into zone coverage between the hashes.

That'll keep one of their OL on their toes to watch for the random edge blitz and possibly get a surprise sack or two, but mostly take up that center lane between the hashes so we're not dinked-and-dunked to death and it clogs the crossing route lanes a bit.
