Let’s start out with a fun video breakdown from Murf Baldwin looking at the route-running techniques DeVonta Smith used to beat LSU’s Derek Stingley on his monstrous receiving day.
You can skip the first 3 minutes if you’ve already got your fill of laughing at Ed Orgeron losing it on the sidelines.
While you’re watching, check out that very first play where Smith caught the quick slant and then got clocked: look up to the top of the screen, and John Metchie absolutely breaks the poor sap’s ankles and would have had a walk in TD if Mac Jones hadn’t already been throwing the slant.
