So because it works once in a blue moon, we should use it every game?

Sorry if it was that great of a D then NFL and the powerhouses in College would be using it. If you watch any football you will see that they are not, so it is not a great D.

It is a situational defense. Plain and simple. But when the front 3 stop the run

Front 3 never stop the run. It’s why the LBs have to lead in tackles. And maybe even TFLs and sacks

Front 3 cannot stop a competent run game. It's all about numbers and it's

I have said this many times- continuing to drop 8 as they gash you over and over

The crazy thing about that game is that BYU only had 14 true rush attempts for

I, too, am tired of offenses ripping on the drop 8 defense.

I’d love to discuss your assessment on review of the UW and Toledo games.

You have to mix it up to stop good offenses

The current staff would drop eight playing Navy.

Just because it works sometimes doesn't mean it should be your base defense

I think the complaint is that we do it all the time instead of situationally...

The bad thing os when we drop 8 we get no pressure and no coverage.
