Agree that Guthrie and Whitner won starting jobs in the spring.  I think the staff went into the 2018 season wanting to stay with a 4-2-5 look for everything all season long.

That makes it a lot easier to deal with fast paced offenses that keep changing their personnel sets (like for instance, we do).

But it didn't work out and they realized they had to change personnel to handle power sets that were gashing our defense, especially in the second halves of games.

Good adjustment by the coaches though it could be argued it took too long for them to react.

I think it is a great goal to have the personnel to be able to run 4-2-5 against passing sets and power sets but it takes two exceptional linebackers to make it happen.  We lost both starters and while I like the guys coming back, it is asking a lot to expect them to be able to handle such a wide range of assignments and challenges.   Just my opinion.

Big fan of Josh's and I hope he does well at Liberty.  Good opportunity for him.  I am sure he will be excited to show the Syracuse coaching staff what he is capable of.
