For the record, the entire secondary had problems against Illinois. Hell, Malcolm was almost in the backfield on one of those play-action fakes that Juice threw for a TD.
CC played an excellent game against Purdue on the road, in his first game at night that would be nationally televised, and impressed me. He was on an island most of the night with one of Purdue's receivers (Although they don't compare to LSU's) and really shut them down. If Washington really can't go than I have a feeling CC will step up.
Amos will probably step in at the nickel. I really hope Heacock doesn't decide to go conservative if CC plays corner, and really hope he doesn't try to play soft zone and let them drive against us. Best thing to do is probably pin our ears back and let Laurinaitis and Co. generate pressure up front. But with the problems LSU is having in pass protection Big Vern and Cam, in an ideal game, could generate enough pressure along the defensive line to where we didn't have to blitz much and could relieve a lot of pressure off of the secondary's shoulders.
