Re: Sabans 2001 LSU Defensive Playbook

Honestly, we run a over/under shifted 3-4 that looks like a 4-3 for all intents and purposes 90% of the time we are in base defense. I think the lack of a true hybrid Jack LB is the reason we haven't seen much "straight" 3-4. I, for one, want to see Nico or Harris to push for the Will LB spot and further necessitate a move from Will to Jack for Hightower. Hightower made some good plays in space at Will, but I think he might be our best edge rusher too. It would be quite the wildcard to see him on the corner and not knowing if he's going to drop or rush.

In fact, I think the development of a Jack LB that can be a "sackmaster" is the missing piece that could make a big difference for us if we ever get a rematch with Florida.
