  12/05/20 - TE Arik Gilbert, rSr/2025, Transfer

  LSU has frequently used Gilbert in trips or bunch formations, where three wide receivers line up on the left or right side of the formation, making it easier to lose Gilbert in traffic for easy yards. The Tigers have also used halfback motion into or out of the backfield to manipulate coverage schemes, creating matchups for the 6-foot-5, 249-pound tight end. "Tight ends are really difficult mismatch guys because of who ends up covering them most of the time," Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

"You have your best corners covering wide receivers, but when these guys are lined up close to the core, their run-pass options are more difficult to define relative to how they line up and who ends up covering them and who ends up matching up on them. I've always said that a tight end and a great running back are hard to cover. Those guys are mismatch problems because unless you put six defensive backs in there you're not going to have cover guys on them. You're going to have guys that you're probably putting on the field because they're good at stopping the run and other things." Several factors make Gilbert useful for the Tigers, but if he does see an increased workload on Saturday, it may be more necessity than anything else. Wide receiver Ja'marr Chase opted out before the season began and Terrace Marshall opted out over the weekend. Marshall's departure is a critical blow: he's responsible for a third of LSU's receiving yards and 10 of its 17 receiving touchdowns. Racey McMath - fifth on the team in receptions and yards - is unlikely to play due to injury, Orgeron said. - Montgomery Advertiser
