of a push on the OL opposite him than the other DL leaves a vertical gap that USF was exploiting was very interesting. USF was basically double teaming each of the other two down linemen on the DL, practically conceding that Tonga was going to push the center into the backfield and then having the RB sidestep the center and Tonga and shoot through the hole created by Tonga's push.

For those more knowledgeable than I am, wouldn't a run blitz with linebackers coming forward to plug the gap be an effective answer to that strategy?
