I hate a 3-man front!  The way to stop a spread is to pressure the qb and make him with his progressions faster than he can process!

"3-man front" says literally nothing about how many defenders are going after the quarterback.

If we plan to run this scheme, we better stunt a hell of a lot better than we ever have.  We better get off blocks better than we ever have.  We better man cover better than we ever have.

I hope we run whatever scheme gets our best 11 of the field regardless of what positions they play.

I was about to say, with Reffett's 3-3-5 we'd regularly send 5 or 6 rushers. 

I like the 3-3-5 because it gives multiple looks and multiple fronts without having to sub players as often (assuming you have a couple LB/Safety hybrid players on the field at all times). Plus the ability to send pressure everywhere and still cover well in the back end

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
