Texas Tech used stunts to get 19 rushing free up the middle. If I remember right, 3rd and long Tech rushed 4 DL. 19 stunted over. Our guard was tied up with their DT and 19 had a free pass to the QB.
Anyways, just an example that it isn't always simple 5 v 3 straight up blocking.
Not surprising that stunts would be effective against a makeshift line. The biggest problem was probably just the lack of talent once Cross decided to sit out, but when you put people next to each other that haven't played together (and one of them at a position he hasn't played), they are not going to be great at handling stunts. IN fact, I think stunts are illegal in the ProBowl. Obviously that's not much of a competitive football game, but I think that was more of an acknowledgement that one week of practice isn't enough for a line to be able to effectively and consistnelty handle stunts/twists.
