Maybe we can loan you a safety to replace your Georgia reject

We have a QB this year so we'll just throw it all over you. In fact he's probably sitting poolside with his smoking hot gf right now.

CB1. Donte Jackson
BUCK. Arden Key
DE. Rashard Lawrence
NT. Greg Gilmore
DE. Christian LaCouture
ILB. Devin White
ROVER. Donnie Alexander
Nickel. Kary Vincent
CB2. Kevin Toliver II

FS. Grant Delpit
SS. John Battle

I think for LSU they will remove Gilmore from the D-line. They will use LaCouture and Lawrence on the inside and Key and Chassion, Thornton or Anthony on the outside.

Would be an interesting look if they did that. K'Lavon and Key coming off the edge would be a nightmare.

Who from the base comes off the field for the nickelback and who is the nickel?


Nobody...lately, the nickle has pretty much been the base for UT. At least it seems that way when you watch other teams roll up 300+ yards on the ground every game.

Yep. I have Tennessee listed as 4-2-5 nickel base in my list. Thanks for reminding me

That goes for Ole Miss as well I believe.

With that being said...the opener against Georgia Tech will probably be one where UT runs predominantly out of a 4-3. It's still up in the air who will linebackers. Quarte' Sapp is still recovering from off knee surgery from last season.

ETA: And who is Kentucky's nickelback?


Probably Kendall Randolph.

And which LB do you think he'll take the place of?

I wouldn't think that he would replace Jordan Jones. Your guess is as good as mine though.

ETA: After eating some dinner and clearing my brain, he'd replace Courtney Love if I had to make a bet.

I don't think anyone is really sure what Arkansas is going to run in those situations. 2-4-5? 3-3-5? Modified 2-4-5 where the two outside Lbs are rushing ends for all intents and purposes? Base 3-4 to make sure teams don't take off for 50 yards at a pop if they run the ball?

I think 3-3-5 with the Razor LB on the line.

Don't worry I'm sure you'll be quite familiar with them after they shutout auburn.

Don't be surprised if Herron beats out Lacoture at the DE opposite Lawrence.

Hogs will just drop heavy OLB (Karl Roesler) for 5th yr corner and captain Kevin Richardson.

Thank you, sir. Are you confident in the 3-3-5 nickel this season?



I am confident it can't be worse than last year
