LSU last year doesn't really play into planning about this game at all. Pelini didn't expect to see Tyrod and Tyrod didn't expect to play. All things considered though he did pretty well.
He isn't the horrible passer that you guys seem to think he is. He does need to make reads faster and the receivers need to do a lot better with routes and getting open. He doesn't play stupid though, he probably won't throw too many interceptions.
A spy won't work, period. FSU tried that last year with absolutely terrible results. i just can't think of more than maybe 1 or 2 players in the country good enough in the open field to consistently tackle him. Your best bet is to blitz, a lot, like Kansas did and force quick reads from him. Also, run a lot of zone. Man to man will let him make reads more quickly and let the receivers make plays. Mixing up the coverages is a must.
Everyone has and will stack the box against us and we have still run the ball. So that isn't exactly a foregone conclusion as a perfect answer.
Hey, BTW, Georgia Tech has a really, really good defense. I'd put their defensive line up against any in the country. I think that they're the best. They've got three seniors and two probable or definite first day picks.
What VT fan posted how bad our defense is, is dead wrong. We actually did get a ton of pressure on the QB, so you're wrong there. The linebackers are very fast, plenty fast enough to play, so you're wrong there. The only problem that I have seen has been tackling on occasion and the safeties. Oh and the backup linebacker Jonas Houseright, he gave up that big touchdown last week and another big play against Furman. If Brett Warren can stay in we should be fine.
