Block, tackle and take advantage of opportunities.

One thing about playing an athletic QB is not to be flat footed and stay athletic.  Holding a block is fine and dandy but stagnation can also put the defense in a holding pattern and easier to block and to me you have to attack the ball with the corners manning up and covering their guys.  The fault with that is having their backs turned to a qb running with the ball.  Can not miss tackles and at the very very least is to slow down the QB to almost a standstill and attack with multiple tacklers.     That said, a zone D and force Brown to make throws and have him prove he can hit his seams might be the option first applied by Coach B in which the SU secondary usually does leave way too open in many cases.   If Brown misfires take advantage of a pass thrown into the D hands.  Last year they had a couple of WR's wide open and missed them.  I just do not like the secondaries ability to play zone...maybe get some tips from Boeheim to improve the spacing!
