These strategies that would take advantage of the 335. We don't have a lot of size or depth on the DL, but we have experienced, athletic guys and good rush ends. I also like our coverage guys, assuming the freshmen hold up (they'll be targeted early and often). If they do, press coverage will give our ends/LB's time to get in Howell's face. The 335 will also confuse blocking assignments.

Personally, I hated zone coverage ... too often we were defending space and not guys in space. So I love the idea of M2M. But UNC knows our personnel - and they'll test us with a lot of second-level stuff (dump off to their TE's, wheel routes, sweeps, screens, etc) ... to exploit our young LB's. This (along with the power rush) was what sunk us early last year (UM). This year, I'm hopeful that our size and talent at LB will be different. Offense ... could do well if our (mostly) experienced OL can protect and open up holes for our replacement RB's. We have weapons if Tommy has time.
