Did Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp tip his hand? In his media session this week, the former LSU defensive coordinator said his defense attacks players, not plays, and Blake thinks that means heavy pressure up the middle against LSU’s struggling interior offensive line. Plus an update on Dave Aranda: he’s staying in Baton Rouge for now, and his presence has been well received inside the building.
Then it’s Keys to Victory for LSU vs. Texas. We start with why Texas’ defense looks a lot like LSU’s, and why Sam Leavitt has to take what the defense gives him, trust receivers beyond Trey’Dez Green and Jackson Harris, attack the middle of the field, and stay ahead of the chains. Lane Kiffin has to take the points, and LSU has to get creative in the run game with traps, counters, jet sweeps and RPOs to get Dylan Jones going. On defense: tackle in space, communicate in the secondary against Steve Sarkisian’s motions and screens, and send relentless pressure at Arch Manning to force turnovers. Plus why this game is a test of the culture Lane has built in year one.
