3-4 Defense

[2300 Nueces]

I'd say being in the running for the league title with two weeks left in the season isn't too shabby.

Don't understand how you lost to the Terrapins. Living in Big Ten territory (Eastern Iowa), ISU fans get that thrown in our face regularly.

Funny thing about that.... we would beat Iowa pretty handily. This team is hard to figure out sometimes.

Well that was fun to watch

ISU was, I think, the first conference team to go all in for the 3-man front, did it last year. It has worked well. Sacked Grier 7 times this year.

ISU can run side to side. They are fast with their LBs which is what this scheme requires.

Having Roach back makes this a much improved 3 man front and a better defense overall.

I've stated this before BUT it depends on who we play. ISU was an ideal team to play because they focus more on the run. So we can blitz a lot more. Passing teams are a different story. We have to protect our back sides. So less blitzing. We will work KU as well because they like to run

well ... I did see some 3 D-man fronts … but mostly I saw 4 (or more) … I do not care how they got here … having more than a 3-man D Front is better for us right now

It's the Mike Leach air raid teams that kill us. Especially on the road when we have no "loud" fan support to disrupt signals.

They were in 3 man front significantly more than a 4 man.

Guess I need to get my TV checked. I saw mostly 4 or more on the Longhorn D-Line most of the time.

It's a hybrid.
