Bama/LSU defense vs JFF

First of all, congrats to LSU on the beat down of Texas A&M. Usually there's healthy debate about which defense, Bama or LSU, is the most solid. This year, not so much, as I think we can all agree that LSU has taken a step back on that side of the ball due to the migration of underclassmen to last year's draft.

However, LSU owned TAMU yesterday from the outset. It was utter domination to the point I think the LSU defense could have arse raped JFF had they so desired. Bama on the other hand, really struggled against TAMU. JFF made them look like an overrated high school team.

So what gives? Is the scheme run by Chavis better against that type offense than the one implemented by Saban/Smart? I know LSU runs a base 4-3 and Bama a base 3-4 but both teams operate more often out of base formation. Anyway, it's clear that Chavis has JFF's number as they are the only team to make him look mortal each of the last two years. Just interested to hear opinions from some of the armchair coaches on the SECr on why LSU makes it look easy and Bama has struggled. I'll hang up and listen...
