[QUOTE="Soxfreak64, post: 1414124, member: 57877"] This defense has HUGE problems, and they’re not all due to lack of maturity/skill. As some have mentioned, the LBs and DEs (though Roundtree got way better as game went on) are committing way too early on the read option. Like, WAY too early. Add that to a bend-but-don’t-break scheme that will apparently never blitz, and any team that goes 4-5 wide will run all over us every single time. Safety continues to be a problem, especially with feast or famine guys like Ware and Green that go for the big hit 90% of the time and connect 30% of the time. I’m not convinced this scheme works in college, especially in vanilla mode. If Hardy and Lovie can’t figure that out, Lovie needs to do the tough thing and bring in somebody who will. [/QUOTE]
