Best D against Army?

[Wag Tag]

How about a 6-2-3? Gap the online and heads up the tight end and strong side tackle. Have the back side  play zone. Any ideas?

Prayer.  Every series, pray.

Got to be disciplined against that option. LB gets the dive back, DE gets the QB and CB takes the pitch man. At least that's how we did it 40 years ago.

And it still works. I saw a team last week that ran a few QB running plays that looked exactly like the old " single wing."

And I imagine you play very close to the LOS, but we better make a quick sure tackle or they'll be gone. And we don't do that very well.

Help me here.  Was it the Spring game where our tackling superiority was on full display?

Army actually does not run the triple option anymore.  The closest they will come is the midline.  It is harder to run the midline against a nose, but it still can be done.  If you remember the old single wing, most of their schemes would more closely resemble that.  As far as inside veer and outside veer, you won't see that.

I expect a lot of the attack will be in forcing our secondary to support and tackle.  We all saw how that worked out vs Tulane.  I hope for better, but I don't expect it.

And this Army team can throw.

Have you watched an Army game this year?

They can pass the ball just as well as run it.
