There is no way Muschamp is dumb enough to play man to man

I keep seeing where most are expecting Hunter and Patterson to be 1 on 1 the entire game. Muschamp is a moron, but no one is that dumb. For the most part, we will be seeing a soft man with two safeties over the top or a zone. That is exactly what he came out with last year vs. us in the opening drive. If somehow I am underestimating his idiocy, Florida better be putting signs in his front yard Saturday night.

Who is expecting them to be played 1 on 1 the whole game? If it's man coverage, you can bet they'll be double teamed. But there's only so many defenders on the field. I expect a cover 2 most of the game.

Of course not. He is a very intuitive defensive mind. He'll mix it up and use man when he thinks it's to his advantage. Of course, we'll show him different

AL, what do you think Muschamp does? I tend to agree, if he goes primarily man and tries to blitz heavily then UF will get some sacks and maybe force some turnovers...but it is inevitable TN will hit a good number of big plays...I hope they go man-to-man.

it is actually very smart to play man to man. what happens is, with a quick hand to the chest of the reciever or jam, it buys time for the line to rush, and for a blitz to develop better. it also throughs off the timing of quarterback to reciever. 1-2 big pass plays is better than giving up 3-5 fast drives. also, if the recier does happn to get past the jam and corner, all the corner has to do is pass interfere or hold which eliminates the big touchdown play. its annoying, yes, but very smart.

if chaney is smart, and i am pretty sure he is, there will be more cross patterns,quick slants, hitches, and delayed handoffs. they wont go deep as much. with that being said, that forces man coverage to go zone then u hit them for the big play.

Ill take PI's ALLLLL DAAYYYY if gets us the win, but I dont see any way florida can play a bump and run strategy and win...I expect dooley to pull out all the tricks to get the job done, even if that means putting CP in the backfield to get his hands on the ball but then again Florida gave up nearly 250 yards passing to BGSU so I figure the best QB/WR's combo in the country can manage a solid 300+.

"Man-to-man" with the two safeties "playing over the top" is not really a man-to-man coverage at all. It is still very much a zone defense.

The only difference is that the corners don't release their man as he goes down the field. It should open up (1) the flats to the RBs and TE and (2) the intermediate middle routes between the middle linebackers to the TE or slot receiver.

I expect Florida to bring a lot of blitz variations (LBs and DBs). That will force them to play some true man-to-man when the DBs blitz.

You'd be surprised how stupid humans can be.

But in truth if he did this he is no different than Chaney. NCSU was supposed to have one of the best secondaries in the nation. Chaney decided to test them by throwing right at them. So what would be the big deal with Muschamp testing our WRs by putting the same level of fault in his DBs Chaney put into our WTs? I'm a Vols homie too but until we have proven ourselves against quality competition, it's best to shut up when it comes to belittling opponents that have handed our whipped azzes to us for 7 years running.

Good post, and you're absolutely right.

The ESPN analysts showed how NC State's DBs gave too big a cushion to UT's receivers, allowing CP and Hunter to get a full head of steam on their routes.

UF will press and try to disrupt Bray's timing, leaving UF vulnerable to quick slants.

I have no idea.. But, I'm sure he'll figure something out - That's why he gets paid the big bucks. If I had to guess though, since most football games wind up being this way, Florida will play a combination of man and zone. Just depends on the situation.

So, that leaves 7 players to defend our 9.

Idiotic.

I'll let this go, since you know nothing about football. You have to double team at least one, or you have to have safety help over the top.

I know Dooley is a fan of extra players, but how is he going to get 9 eligible receivers out on the field?

That could be true if you didn't have an O-line that last year ranked #1 in sacks per pass attempt and looks even better in pass protection this year. Please let them play tight at the LOS.

If this happens, look for our TEs and backs to have a big day catching the ball. This will also allow us to keep the ball longer and away from Florida and rest our defense as well.

yup, that is correct. u seem to maybe played a lil? see in the ncstate game when you have two sub 4.4 guys runnin full speed at you, and your typically playing 5-7 yards off the reciever will either kill u with a go, post, or hitch. in the florida game a big reciever in man to man will absolutely have the edge in a quick slant or cross. small corners are quicker, so goin deep man to man is tougher. either way db's for florida will give up yards

They'll be pass interfering a lot then.

Bump and run is just asking to get beat deep. Even if you have safety help over the top, at best you're gonna have 1 on 1. If that's the route he goes, he's really trusting the pass rush. But with safety cover over the top, that doesn't leave a lot of defenders left for a blitz.

To be fair, they also showed Florida trying to jam Bowling Green wide receivers on straight routes and how they got burnt.

NC State played soft on the edges with varying degrees of safety help, and still got beat deep.

They'll do it a times. They'll mix it up though. Won't matter what they do unless they get pressure.
