[spudvol]

Dooley mentioned pattern matching a couple times during Monday's presser. Here's a great article on pattern match man coverage for anyone interested.

We don't have the talent in the secondary to stop a toddler riding his tricycle uphill. Doesn't matter if we ran a 4-4-5 defense

Wonder why this wasn't looked into a few games back. As much trouble as we've had on D 9 games into the season, and there are still alignment problems and communication issues with the players, just seems as if trying a new scheme with only 3 games to go is too little too late. But heck, we can't be much worse as we already are. Why not?

If pattern reading wasn't instilled into this team from the beginning then this is all I need to know. Saban loves this. It's great until you find a team running their entire passing game off of vertical stems. Then you're effed.

Actually being able to take correct angles and then actually tackling would also help. :birgits_giggle:

I dont know...the one time we ran the 4-4-5, we stopped LSU.

Referee said "coach, you got 13 men on defense"

Daooley, "that is how many we need to stop them"

Man I wonder how long ND fans would beat the dead horse for if they would have lost this past wknd cause they had 2 guys on the field with the #2. It was a coaching mistake per Kelly that the refs luckily didn't catch. Of course cdd is the only one that things like this happens to cause he's not a good coach. Smh

We tried that against LSU, didn't work out at that well :dunno:

I guess the extra guys scared me because they stopped themselves by fumbling the snap. We could have had 9 guys put there and still on that game.
