Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1171856, member: 652"] WSU's defense stinks because Leach does what WVU did under Rich-Rod thru this year and put all the recruiting speed on one side of the ball and didn't balance the team out. WVU sucked because their defense didn't have the same speed that its offense had and they were undersized. Good link though. Bama is wrong if they never go into the shotgun during obvious passing downs because teams can stuff the A gap with 2 LBs and force quick passes. That is one of the reasons Louisville beat Syracuse in 2010. Charlie Strong knew Ryan Bartholomew couldn't shotgun snaps to Nassib so on 3rd downs he flooded the A gap with 2 LBs and blitzed and Nassib had no chance because he was under center. Teams needs to be able to play under and in the shotgun just to give the defense multiple looks. [/QUOTE]
