Best D against Army?

Wag Tag · November 1

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.

Just have each player on defense hold a medieval shield

We can’t stop them and they can’t stop us. I could see an issue of a run down D for UNT. Who has the ball last wins?

You have to cover the center or they will kill you with the midline. You probably need 3's or 4I's and 9's. You adjust to unbalanced formations with secondary. That is the most sound on a chalkboard.

Problem is, this is what we've been doing since Tech. Corners have to run support. Ours are small and get drug around. We have one 9, but the other is light.

Maybe Army will take us lightly. It would be hard for them not to.
