On pace for an ungodly 850 yards. We have up only 123 yards the rest of the way for what was essentially 3 full quarters of play. And only 3 points. I've never seen a defense turns things around so dramatically during a game like we did today.
The DBs started off slow and then turned off AU’s passing game. Not sure if Malzahn helped or changed the game plan based on our white-on-ricedness.
The way it started Auburn didn't need to pass. They were getting 7-8 yards per carry. Devin White & the LBs, the d line and even Arden Key really stepped it up. Amazing change.
That was one heck of a comeback. The coaches and/or the some of the players must have lit a fire on the ass. Because that was at turn around of epic proportions. Early on I only saw two players on the D, actually playing football. White and LaCouture were the only two out there. The DB's especially stepped up big time. Just an amazing comeback.
Coach and players commented on the adjustment. Moving a safety down to cover the gap they were running through and playing man to man coverage. Auburn all of a sudden couldn't run. With the safety coming down, they tried to go deep but man to man coverage was tight. They had no clue what to do.
we had this conversation in the game thread. It looked to me early like LSU's front was doing a decent job with gap assignments they just couldn't tackle Johnson on the first hit. They started to do that later in the game and honestly I just can't say enough about Devin White.
Devin White is just an absolute BEAST! That kid flies all over the field, playing with an intense passion rarely seen. I think he may go down as one of, if not the best LB in LSU history.
