Nowhere to hide.



Tinker
The secret to stopping the spread offense in college football is not a mystery any longer. Put a fast defensive football player to run down a fast offensive football player. And to defense a spread out offense as close to the other guy tightly as they can get.

The successful design of a spread offense is to isolate a fast guy in the open space against a slower guy. So if the defensive player is just as fast, or faster, the advantage of the spread offense is gone.
LSU stopped Johnny football because the LSU defense played faster defenders who rand the shifty A&M QB down. With nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.

More often than not, John Chavis' Tiger defenses have won the day against some of college football's most modernized offenses. It's all about structure.
