I haven't been impressed with Hodge at all.  He seems to struggle getting off blocks, and lacks the lateral quickness.  I have been much more impressed with Franklin at the MIKE.  He has better size, and have been very impressed with his sideline to sideline speed.

But to answer the OP i pretty much agree with Alascs.  We are fine against limited offenses like Wake that don't have playmakers on the outside, or a mobile quarterback.  Our blitz heavy defense chews up and spits out those type of teams.  But anytime we go up against teams that are equal in talent and speed we get beat up pretty good.   Against Notre Dame we were fine giving them that bubble screen all night long, and ND gladly accepted the quick hitter and yardage.  Against Louisville there were a number of times their qb made a quick dump off to the wide receiver on the side where the blitz came from.  We are in a tough spot right now because our DL just can't create any sort of pass rush.  Last year we had Bromley, but that's it.  I'd like to see how Bullough would approach some of these game plans if he actually had some guys that could rush the passer, and we didn't have to blitz 90% of the time.
