If you have ESPN+, the Film Room Replay of the Peach Bowl was fantastic...

I highly recommend it if you are digging into the replays and nerding out on formations, playcalls etc on both sides of the ball. For the Peach Bowl it was Luginbill and Louis Riddick. For those that don’t know he played S in the NFL for 7-8 years before being a Scout and Player/Personnel Director for two different NFC East Franchises (Philly and DC).

They both do a great job with a split screen format providing live feeds, whip around coverage from other non broadcast angles and the replays and telestrator breakdowns of plays in near real time, with commentary flowing. It’s a little hectic but in a replay format it’s excellent.

Riddick just absolutely savaged OU DC Grinch. Listening to Marcus Spears and some YouTube breakdowns I follow, they were all of a similar opinion. But Riddick was the deepest dive.

It was apparent to him early that the OU tactic was to run a single high safety and leave younger corners in one on one situations with no deep help in the Secondary. When LSU showed they recognized it and could beat it at will, Grinch continued to run it. At 14-7, he prophetically stated, “I’m guessing that they’ll change this look, otherwise they’ll get 50 hug on them.”

As they kept playing the same secondary coverages, he was incredulous. He simply couldn’t believe they didn’t move away from it as the points piled up. Spears also talked about though he was an LSU Fan, he was frustrated to see Defensive Players for the Sooners not put in position to be more competitive.

At any rate, it was an interesting way of watching the game and great insight into the game itself. I highly recommend it.

I know they thought you have to blitz Joe to beat him...but that's not exactly true...

You have to rando-blitz in any 4+ yard situation, BUT if you aren't blitzing, you have to peel back to 3 or 4 man rush and leave Murray Jr on Burrow, 3-5 yards behind the line...

They blitzed him with 6 several times, but the line was too much, Joe was too much. They acted like it never happened...the oline picked that crap up, and if even 1 DB is confused, you get a Moss situation...open dude trucking down the field.

It's too much for many retarded defenders to deal with...

ETA, ALSO, HOLY HELL HOW MUCH SPACE THEY GAVE OUR RECEIVERS...well most of them most of the time

Clemson is not going to play us that stupidly. Wtf was Grinch thinking? I guess the single high safety was the poison he chose.

Good to know that. I found it in the ESPN+ section of the App so I figured it was only available there. I'll say it again as a bit of a bump to the morning crew. It was an excellent way to watch the replay.

Do they have a breakdown of Clemson /osu?

If you watched, can you give us a summary of potential Clemson weaknesses?

Thought about it but I went back and watched the replay with the LSU radio broadcast to see if that's something I want to do from now on.

Which I do, BTW. Loved pairing Blair up with the National Feed, and with Gordy on the sidelines I think it's excellent feedback.

What I saw from Clemson was they weren't familiar with equal talent. Took many calls going there way to keep them in it. It happens but without that osu wins.
