I'm assuming this is going to be a fun one when these two matchup on the outside.

Ja'Marr Chase - 6'1, 200 lbs
Ja'Marr Chase is LSU's primary guy on the outside, especially with Terrace Marshall being out for this one (Chase will line up in the slot at times, but the bulk of his targets come when he's on the outside). ETA: Reports are that Marshall was back at practice today...

Chase enters the week leading the SEC in receiving yards per game, averaging 113 yards. He's 29th in the nation (6th in the conference) in yards per reception at 19.6.

Chase has been pretty good after the catch this year too, averaging over 7.0 YAC. I guess that seems low to some, but it's one of the highest among SEC WRs that have at least 20 catches. He's also a phenomenal athlete who high-points the ball really well. I believe he's been featured on "You got Mossed" twice this year.

CJ Henderson - 6'1, 202 lbs
On the flip-side we have one of the best CBs in the nation, CJ Henderson. I know he's only played in 3 games this year, but last season he had a passer rating (NCAA) of 65.6 when he was targeted. That's some pretty sick numbers. For comparison, last year's Thorpe Award winner and 2019 1st round NFL draft pick Deandre Baker (UGA), had a 73.0 passer rating when he was targeted.

Henderson did have some hiccups in tackling last year. Not sure if that's been rectified this year, since there's only a small sample size for him thus far. Doesn't really matter if he's not allowing passes to be completed his way though.

One question for Gator fans: Who is your primary defender in the slot this year (nickelback role)? Is it Trey Dean? How comfortable are you with whomever is in that role? I ask, because that will be the guy with the task of covering Justin Jefferson.

Thoughts?

Looks like Marshall May be back for the game though...

CJ vs. JC has the potential to be one of the best one-on-one matchups in the SEC this year.

CJ is the truth. Looking forward to this. Hope to see him against all of the wideouts.


On the other side...the freshman phenom.....can’t wait to see what Stingley does.

Dean is very physical but he doesn't have a ton of speed. He can win fights in the air though and won't be bodied. Always thought he would be a safety for us.

If our o line can at least hold y’all for a couple seconds, chase will destroy y’all’s secondary with double moves

Dean is the nickle? Who is the other CB?

Dont think I'm trolling, I just havnt had a chance to watch much Florida this year and when I did the DL with the Z name was all I saw
