Curious about what you guys think we should do defensively. As much as we hate to admit they do have some playmakers. I think we should blitz and blitz and more blitz. I think if we play zone they will pick us apart. If we can get pressure with our front then maybe we could play a semi zone. what you say

I think the best defense is to just hope Ta'amu hits wide open receivers squarely in the hands.

Pressure contain, disguise who and where we send the extra man, and confuse him between zone and man coverage.

Pressure. After what I saw from Rod Taylor on the 2nd half, I’d make him have to try to block Montez Sweat a few times.

Pressure frequently and from multiple sets and directions. Ta’amu rarely looks past the primary target and not sure how well if at all he can read a defense

Mix of zone and man pressure. Have a safety rolled over on AJs side all game and match peters up with him as much as possible

Watch the second half films from Arky and aTm vs OM games, and just do whatever they did, except we’ll be doing it with better players.

Blitz from the edges. Keep a spy linebacker on Ta'amu as he gives away the receiver he is throwing to 99% of the time and rarely moves to a second read unless he is scrambling. Keep a safety behind AJ at all times, he will get his catches but prevent the RAC yardage. And then the best defensive move is to have our offense play just like we did against Bama... run the ball and use all the clock. If you can make it to halftime up or only town by one score you are in good shape since they always fold in the 2nd half.

That's the correct answer.

G. Green and M. Sweat with the edge rush, J.T. Grey or Leo Lewis spying, and gash them Running the ball like LSU did---2 TE sets with just enough play-action to keep them honest.
