Brune: If LaNorris Sellers can extend plays if he can make the first guy miss whether it is a linebacker, whether it’s an edge. If he can just extend the play for an extra three, four seconds, that’s an eternity. And that we have not seen LSU face as a secondary. We haven’t seen them have to cover for seven or six seconds. We’ve seen them cover for two, maybe three at most. Like that is a whole different world you’re playing in. And so, that is one of the ways, for example, if we’re looking at South Carolina putting pressure on LSU tomorrow, it has to be from Sellers having one of the best games of his career.

Bryce: You know, like we talk about these edges, I think this is a game where Bernard Gooden kind of needs to be a factor to be able to give Sellers a different look. I feel like that’s kind of what South Carolina is going to try to do here with Patrick Payton, Jamari Butler, Dylan Carpenter, Jack Pyburn, knowing, hey, we’re going to let you take yourself out of the play if you’re willing to do that. That’s why I think, interior-wise, it’s not just interior pressure. You’ve got to have your head on a swivel if you’re Dom McKinley, Bernard Gooden, Ahmad Breaux
