Ole Miss had some of the best Tite front beaters vs. LSU, that I'd seen in a long time. The individual plays weren't as impressive is how they were packaged together. They centered on sawing the defense in half and getting lead blockers to the perimeter.

A thread (1/14)
Here is the first of three Bash Toss plays I will focus on. The B Backer spills and gets logged and the Rover and FS fit too far outside. (2/14)
Bash Toss #2: The Mike gets held by the Toss action to the back and the Safety doesn't get down fast enough because the TE arcs away from him which holds him for a split second (3/14)
Bash Toss #3: The same thing happens as in play #2. (4/14)
The next play you see in the game is Counter Read, mostly out of 11 personnel, Unbalanced, 4x0. The hardest part of playing the Tite front is when the TE can climb to a LB which is what happens here. TE on the LB, pullers collects the edge player and the other backer (5/14)
Counter Read #2: LSU over rotates a little too much and the B Backer squeezes and it's "88 and out the gate!" (6/14)
The next play is probably my favorite: Inverted Veer Stretch, or what I call "Cheat Stretch." It doesn't hit the home runs in this game, but it gets chunks. (7/14)
Here it is again... (8/14)
Although the QB never kept the ball, he very well could have multiple times. Check out the endzone picture here when the QB gives the ball. He very well could have hit his head on the goal post had he kept it (9/14)
Here is the same play out of 20T (20 Pony) personnel with a Running Back as a lead blocker (10/14)
When they got tired of splitting LSU in half they just ran some good 'ol fashioned QB Stretch Lead to outnumber them to the perimeter. (11/14)
And here is my favorite play of the game: Q Stretch Lead with a fake reverse and awesome hop fake by the QB/"The Professor." (12/14)
These 11 plays accounted for 281 rushing yds and 3 TDs (25.5 YPC). By mixing in Bash Toss, Counter Read, Inverted Veer (Stretch Blocking) Read, and QB Stretch Lead, Ole Miss was able to split LSU's defense in half with misdirection going opposite ways, plays that went (13/14)
laterally with an inside component, and create angles and outnumber at the point of attack on the edge, they were able to put the National Champions' defense in a bind. When LSU played more Even fronts, they were able to stop the bleeding. (14/14)
I hope I made @JamesALight and @CoachDanCasey proud!
