    A&M has to bring the house on defense to stop anyone. The zone read and middle of the field in the passing game should be open for us.

If we can mix that portion up and be able to open things up down field, I like our chances.

    We will run just fine. But we aren't going to win games against good teams just because of the run. We win them because we convert 3rd downs, get decent yardage on 1st down, and flip field position on teams. Do those things and we are hard to beat.
    This is why UGA beat the crap out of us. They were fast and didn't miss tackles.

    There were a few 3rd and longs and we just rushed four and played what looked like 2 deep man and the QB either ran for the first down or completed a pass for a chain moving gain. I didn't think we were overly aggressive on 3rd downs, at least in the first half.

    But also, i'm just nitpicking, because when you win 45-7, there really isn't much to be upset about. Hailstate.
    2 Deep man, is that a new combo coverage? I saw us play a good bit of cover 2 and even a little cover 4 late in the game.

    2 deep, man under. All pass eligible players are covered man to man plus two deep safeties playing halves.
