First play to Norwood, he was double covered and AJ threaded the needle.... Second play to Norwood it looked like #2 cover zone...... Third play to Norwood had man coverage with a linebacker blitz and he beat the defender with a great sideline route...... At that point, Danielson made the statement that LSU was playing Bama Soft..... The incomplete pass to Norwood in the endzone, Lsu blitzed a linebacker and it was one on one cover on Norwood with a safety help....... The touchdown play to TJ, LSU had a two linebacker blitz, plus Minter got sucked inside too far before he realized it was a screen and Warmack got in his way twice to give TJ a step on him..... After that, it was TJ alone with a couple of very good moves on two defenders with a little help from #80 at the goal......... I say all of that because The "Hatter" is taking some heat for playing prevent.... A prevent usually is 3 down linemen and 8 in soft medium coverage with two or 3 deep safeties........ I just mentioned that because of what Danielson said....... My personal take on the drive was that AJ being on the money, the Oline keeping the defense off of AJ, Norwood with some great routes, and catches, the other recievers running grat routes to pull away the other dbacks, and of course TJ, blocking on a couple of blitzes, and one great fake block on a blitz that openened the TD play up...... Team effort...... Also, the fake field goal, or the onside kick did not hurt LSU anyway as we were in a funk..... The long field goal try did not hurt them because even if he had made it, then kicked off into the endzone, we would have only started 3 yards longer on the drive...... The only really questionable call was Miles going for it on 4th down with the offense he used..... I am just tired of the excuses, especially the "prevent" angle on our drive.... RTR!!!!! I know I`m singing to the choir.....
