why do people say the T2 has never been successful in college when its not true..  USC ran it for years and was a pretty good D..  nd Dak st wins a ton at the FBS level running and beats pretty good FCS teams every year using it.

a good quote " the level of athleticism needed to fill each role isn't too great. The linebackers need to be laterally quick and hard-nosed players, but the safeties and middle linebacker have the advantage of being able to drop back, read the play, and run downhill to the ball. It's much easier to find players who can learn keys and run fast in a straight line than to find players who can backpedal, flip their hips, and run with athletes on offense."

most college teams dont really run Tampa 2 full out of fully commit to it..

WV had run it much of the time the last few years and while not a great D has actually been pretty solid in a tough league to play D 41/28/51 the last 3 years, I think we would take that right now.

You need to mix it .  you need a pass rush,  and you need talent.   its not the scheme its the players most of the time, scheme can hide issues on offense much more than defense

wyoming is running it again with lesser talent.

its like another D, you need to mix up, find a pass rush, limit mistakes, and make tackles.
