All defense's first read is to determine a strong side and a weak side. With 11 on a side you have to have 6 on one side and 5 on the other, Essentially to fine tune that to determine how many receivers and who has a strong side and weak side coverage. It's much easier to confuse college kids with simple visual cues they've never seen or quick motion to switch a strong side to a weak side or vice versa. Giving them 5 seconds to figure all this out confuses them so they often just go zone concept. Unbalanced line looks like that was a 2 TE look with strong side right with 3 WR and a TE, but it wasn't it was a 3/2 with a WR in backfield. Davis isn't eligible because he's covered. So they were light on Mang's side. With quick motion from Pena and Schafer confirms zone and it quickly takes a 'strong' side that really wasn't and puts the 3 receivers on the other side of the field.
The result is NCState had weak side zone coverage on what ended up to be the strong side of the formation, leaving Gadson wide open because his cover man was on the other side of the field. If Ingle ended up covering Gadson, Pena was the 2nd read check down who would have been wide open. Schafer just picks the wide open guys. It becomes wack a mole.
