Fourcade Says Stop Running It Up The Gut | Caleb Odom becoming the Ole Miss TE Weapon

Four days to Charlotte. Eleven to LSU.

📌 THREE THINGS

1. The first half wasn't dominant, it was lucky. Fourcade's read is that if Louisville's quarterback completes two more throws early, this is a different football game — the secondary had busted coverages in the first half too, and the scoreboard hid it. He tied it directly to the lack of live tackling in summer practice, and to a habit he sees everywhere now: players wrapping up from the waist trying to strip the ball instead of putting the runner on the ground.

2. Stop running inside zone. His argument is specific — a back set five or six yards deep in the gun lets a defender sit at the line and watch the handoff. He wants off-tackle runs and the stretch play, which lets the back bounce and cut back, and which pulls the tight end in as an extra blocker. Then you fake the stretch and hit that tight end down the middle. His question for the staff: why did it take a half to start throwing to the tight ends at all?

3. What he liked. The defensive front rotation, six or seven linemen who can play a full game, and a linebacker group he called genuinely good. And on Kewan Lacy: he compared the build to Alvin Kamara — an outside back, not a between-the-tackles back — and said the same about Makhi Frazier.

Plus his read on LSU-Clemson and whether the ACC can hang with SEC speed.
