The Bulldog pass rushers sacked LSU Quarterback Myles Brennan seven times in the first game of the season. In the last three games, the Bulldog pass rush has only accounted for five sacks. For the defense to have success the Bulldog pass rush will have to pressure, knockdown, and sack Mac Jones. Tyrus Wheat and Marquis Spencer lead the Bulldogs with 2.5 sacks each followed up by Aaron Brule and Nathan Pickering have 2 sacks apiece. Zach Arnett will have to call some creative blitzes to allow his pass rushers to impact the game in a positive way.
