enjoyed the banter over past weeks.
Love to learn about opponents, feel I should give accurate info in return.
What I posted was dead accurate:
LSU has extreme DBs, could man cover, daring Hurts to beat them w/ his arm, using other personnel to cage him in and pressure him. The huge NG and his bigger back-up jammed the middle, plugging the run and preventing Hurts from stepping up in the pocket. Excellent Hurts and CeeDee made plays but not nearly enuf.
While many worried about Biltnikoff winner Chase, LSU has several top talents at WR. Grinch dbl covered Chase, his stats weren't very much, leaving others, maybe also 1st rd draft choices, in single coverage. WRs are 6'1, 6'3 & 6'4, mismatches for OU short DBs.
Finally, Burrow is an alien. Nobody could develop that, LSU got lucky and caught lightning in a bottle. He cannot do what he does but he keeps doing it. I don't expect to see such performances as he has given ever again in my lifetime, he is on a 15 game rampage that included 7 Top Ten teams.
Good luck to the Sooners (am still a fan since watching Bud's team in person) and please keep beating the sips.
