Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4865863, member: 405"] I think the line play at the top end of the ACC is 1st round NFL talent, and we aren't going to be able to compete with that. I think we need to use speed and pursuit to make up for physical shortcomings, compared to the truly elite teams, with our defense. I think the 3-4 is a hell of a defense for a program like SU. It's more solid against the run than the 3-3-5. You can use a more physical defense, essentially trading a safety/rover for an extra linebacker to defend the run. I seem to maybe remember Mac running it at times, in addition to Parcell's Giants, when he started those 4 LBs whose pictures were painted on the wall at that club on Patterson Plank Road, if you happen to know the place ...
