That is absolutely true. If you are gashing a team with QB runs against man, the only option is to go to Zone where everyone on the field is eyeing him.
The issue here is that as a statue, DL can get way up the field and collapse the pocket. They pin their ears back and just beat our OL, because they know they have next to zero responsibility in keeping the QB there. That is the entire reason LSU's offense beat us.
