We heard plenty all offseason and fall camp about Dave Aranda getting more creative in year three as LSU defensive coordinator.
LSU's dominant defensive performance against Miami on Sunday (Sept. 2) gave us the first peek. That peek included safeties working in the box, cornerbacks dropping back like safeties and two-man defensive fronts to get more athletic bodies on the field.
Maybe no player's role variation was more apparent Sunday than sophomore safety Grant Delpit. The 6-foot-3, 203-pounder has plenty of size and athleticism, and Aranda repeatedly put him in what Delpit said is called the "quarter" position.
