It does seem like well coached teams are catching onto how to attack it though - Idaho threw effectively against it, MSU ran pretty good too. Would you like to see a more tradition scheme next season, or is this the best fit for the kids on the team & their talents, and do you think another scheme would be more effective against teams like MSU & NDSU's running games?
Lots of quality responses, thanks, I appreciate the detail. If Bobby had told the defense after the JMU game last year that they’d go to an aggressive 4/3 defense for 2022, would the team had more wins?
Given their personnel - no. They don’t have the hogs up front. This will really tick people off, but they don’t have the right personnel at defensive end either. I think they would have to recruit to make the switch, which is problematic. You wouldn’t think switching to a 4/3 is a big deal, but it is. Furthermore, I don’t buy the smaller but faster argument. Faster didn’t work at all against MSU. I am not sure it would work against NDSU either. We will hopefully find out.
